I made these last weekend. The only thing that I would suggest is that you use a good quality mozzarella cheese. I got the cheapest one and it was really salty. When I made them again yesterday, I used a better quality and they came out 10 times better. Thank you for posting. -
This was really good...and my husband even enjoyed it...and he's a picky eater!

I only work part time these days due to arthritus in my hands.
I love to cook and try new foods.
I like Middle Eastern cooking as I travelled to Turkey and Cyprus and got hooked on the foods there.
I collect cookbooks and probably have over 100 in my library so far, British, Greek, Turkish, Italian, Indian, Spanish, French, German, Jewish and Asian.
