I obtained this exact recipe from a cookbook, and we love it. It's a great recipe to impress company without a lot of work. Very good and worth a try.

Maybe six or seven stars. Just too wonderful. I used bleu cheese instead of feta to suit what I had on hand, and skipped the bacon altogether to cut the fat. Baked these bad boys in a spray-coated casserole dish, and sprayed a little more Pam on the top. You're going to love this. Try it.
