Evaluaciones

  • I took the basic recipe and substituted a mix of shredded mexican and mozzarella cheese in place of the slices of cheese. I also added a diced roma tomato to the cream sauce before I added the cheese. To add a bit of a kick I added Sriracha, about 2 table spoons. I did bake it for 25 min. as the option said with a mixture of bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.

    This dish tasted great and I have leftovers for at least one more meal.
