  • “These were a thumbs up at our house.Two kids went back for seconds. :)I don’t like feta cheese so used colby jack.I didn’t have red bell pepper and used green bell pepper from the garden.Followed everything else exactly.This was perfect for a warm summer day.Made for the August 2008 Aussie/NZ recipe swap.”
