This was very tasty. I added a bit of garlic and onion powder along with some red pepper flakes. I needed something "soft" to make for my son's sore mouth after a visit to the orthodontist. Thanks Mme Melissa!

This was so easy to make & light as air, but had a rich & lovely delicate flavor. I made a half recipe for 2 of us as written, but did add a bit of garlic as a pers pref & scattered fresh-snipped chives on top for color. I served it w/grilled trout fillets & a sml salad garnish. We loved it, Melissa. Thx for sharing your grandma's excellent recipe w/us. :-)
