This recipe was fantastic! We added a little bit of pre-cooked pork sausage and it tasted incredible. We also have some lactose-intolerant people in our family and we made a riff on this dish for them using dairy-free mozzarella, lactose-free milk, and dairy-free parmesan. It was a hit! Definitely a recipe we'll be making for future brunches.
