Epi-curious's Note:

I just saw Nigella make this on one of her TV shows and I had to post it. It is utterly yummy. You can experiment with toppings to create your own flavor sensations.

Oh my, this was yummy! I scaled this down for a light supper for me. I did add a tsp. of mayo, and threw a few potato chips on top for some crunch. Thank you so much for posting! :)
