💬 Uncle Dave says... From a Martha Stewart recipe. I made it both in a glass baking dish and a cast iron skillet, but the pictures don't tell the whole story. The one in the glass dish show the puffing up better, but the best results were with the cast iron skillet. However, the picture was taken after it had settled back down.
