Author Notes
I ate something similar to this in a restaurant in February, and I just had to figure out how to re-create it at home. So I fiddled, tested, tested some more (yum). It's something I could eat every week. —carrie.m

Adjust your oven shelf to its lowest position. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
