I did this recipe, but I incorporated blackberries and fresh basil from the garden. it was awesome. While not the classic dish, the twist on it was quite tasty,.
Sounds great! Love the incorporation of basil.
Much easier than the double crust 13×9 I’ve made for decades. That one may be cut back to once a season with this new option. Thanks so much!
