A nice surprise! I was a bit skeptical since there wasn't any liquid included, but the dish came out very moist and tasty! It was rather flat, but that could be helped with adding other veggies. I wanted to make this as healthy as possible, so I used ff cottage cheese and ff cheddar shreds, turkey ham and fresh spinach. I also added some chopped onion. I used a square glass baking dish since I halved the recipe too. Very versatile recipe! Thanks Meredith K! MERP'd for Heatlhy Choices tag.
