I made this for dinner last night. It is so-o-o good. I did add a bit more half n half to make it creamier. Try it you will love it.

6/23/2010 02:38:20 PM Report AbuseI love this recipe. I have made it a few times. I like it better with Gorgonzola instead of regular blue cheese. I also found that it turned out creamier when I baked it uncovered 15 minutes, topped with cheese and baked for 15 more minutes for a perfectly browned cheese. This probably depends on your oven though. I tried to take this dish to a family event in a crock pot to keep it warm on low. That was a disaster because it got too mushy.
