I first prepared this flavorful recipe over two years ago, but forgot to rate it. We enjoyed it then and have done so several times since. I add a tad more Worcestershire sauce, add 1 T. minced garlic, and sub Parmesan for the cheddar cheese. Being able to prepare the ramekins ahead, then bake that evening is a plus when entertaining. Thanks for sharing!

It's a fabulous foodie city, with new restaurants constantly opening. Travel is very important to me, and we do a lot of that. My photography "habit" and travel go together nicely, as does a growing passion for birding and its associated travel.
