Made this today, very yummy. didn't use fresh herbs but dried because that is all I had in the house. Also added some cheese to the top. Took a picture and if it ever loads I will add it.

VERY GOOD! We loved this! Especially hubby who made an olive oil herb dip (like Zio's) to dip it in! We polished off 3/4 of the thing just between the 3 of us (one being 4, lol)! Thanks Keni! Here is the IMI link ---------> more
