- In a bowl, whisk together flour, milk, eggs and mozzarella cheese. Pour carefully over meat sauce. Top with pepperoni and/or olives, if desired. Sprinkle with parmesan, cover, and cook on high 4 hours (3 hrs for a 6qt pot), until the topping is puffed, golden brown, and pulling away from the sides of the pot. (Cooking on low is not recommended.).

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
