Very tasty, but, somewhat dry. The dish had a consistency that more closely resembled the filling of stuffed crab. The Au Gratin dishes I experienced at Don's in Hammond, LA was the texture I was looking for. Although not what I expected, it was very good. The family loved it and I will make it again
