I made this last night for my FI and we were both just amazed at how great it was! Once we got the grill heated up it was literally, start to finish, 10 minutes from the time I started until we were eating. The grill added a great flavor and I just can’t rave about it enough. It was also really inexpensive to make and I could keep the items on hand, it would be a great appetizer as well if it was just cut into smaller pieces.
