Sounds simple and delicious. Have to try your version. I'm thinking add some spinach into the cheese mixture for inside as well.
May try and come to Chi town early 11. I know its a long time but figured I'd give you some notice!
My friend, Lauren, actually made a version with chopped spinach and Italian sausage on the inside. It was pretty yummy.
I will be on the lookout for you early '11.
