Delicious! Did whirl a chipolte en adobo into the cream - and had no bread crumbs (I know, how can that be on Thanksgiving LOL) - and was low on cheddar (whaat?)... STILL turned out delicious! Did a hefty sprinkle of coarse brown sugar on the top (weird I know) and it turned out fabulously. Keeper ecipe - mandoline thin slices are key.
