Very very good! I cut the recipe down for just the two of us and added a little cayenne pepper for a little kick to the topping ingredients and this was delicious. Served with Healthy Fries#176599 and a green salad. Definately a keeper. Made for the Zaar Alphabet Soup tag game.

I made this recently and thought it was very good and simple to boot. I bought my roasted garlic from the olive bar at the grocery store and it was not as soft as when I make it at home. Therefore, next time I will put it in a food processor to mix it together better. I used a touch less panko than called for. Great flavor, could use a wee bit of liquid for my taste, so next time I'll add a tablespoon of white wine in the bottom of the pan. Tasty, I'll make it again! Thank you for posting.
