This is a keeper! I had to add meat for my husband, so I cooked 8 slices of bacon, kept the drippings, added the butter & thyme and continued on from there. Delicious!

I substituted Fontinella for Fontina and Feta cheese for Bleu... YUM. I also only had an italian bread crumb mix rather than the japenese style crumbs. Still yum. Yum yum yum!

Blue cheese is kind of strong. I substituted 3 tbs blue cheese dressing and added more fontina cheese. Great!

I give this 5 stars but I clicked on the wrong star and it wouldn't let me change it. Don't be afraid of the blue cheese. I followed the recipe exactly and it's really good.
