I made this but I put fresh green onion, basil, parsley, spinach in the filling along with herb and garlic cream cheese. Some pepper and garlic cream cheese, cheddar cheese, little bit Parmesan cheese. Extra bacon. I used half Panko bread crumbs and half cornflakes. I baked it at 375 on a raised rack so both sides turned out crispy. Turned out great. Everyone went for seconds!!
