I have "tweaked" this recipe.. but the filling is delish..Instead of adding Blue Cheese- I did Parmesan Cheese..In the directions, the cream cheese was forgotten, so I added it to the other cheese, bacon bits and spinach... I actually haven't "tried" it yet- as it is cooking now. it's for dinner - 5/2/18
