"So easy, this cheesy Italian comfort food is done in about 20 minutes or so. The key is to use a low-sodium broth since the cheeses are a bit salty together. It's a good choice when there's a light chill in the air but you don't want something too heavy or complicated. It's not exactly low-cholesterol, but it's a delicious treat once in a while!"

This is yummy! I decided to make one serving of this for a luxurious weekend breakfast for myself. It was easy to make and is delicious, too. I wondered for a moment whether the mozzarella would really melt, but it did. This is real comfort food. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe.
