I made these today for a luncheon with the girls. Everyone enjoyed them! They really are wonderful, and very easy to prepare. I did substitute half & half for the heavy cream and I used part-skim mozzarella to try to cut the fat a bit. It still came out fantastic! Thanks so much for posting it :)

These were fantastic! I have had this recipe sitting in my collection for a while and hadn't had time to make it until yesterday. They are definitely time consuming but well worth it. I made it just as described and wouldn't change a thing. I think I am going to try variations of this recipe with different cheeses or sauces because they were so great.
