I couldn't resist trying after seeing the wonderful photo by NcMysteryShopper! Since I prepared my crust a few days earlier (in freezer) this took just a few min. to prepare! It tasted like a pizza with a French "flair" to it. My husband especially enjoyed the presentation of it (it looks like you spent a lot of time on it!). It reheated nicely the next day for lunch. Thanks Ms. Bindy for making me look good! Roxygirl

DE-LISH! I made this about 2 weeks ago, shared it at lunch time with my co-workers... they wanted the recipe. I made it again last night... and I used a cake pan instead because the first time the liquid was over flowing. THANK YOU MUCHO!
