This was supposed to be our dinner meal for the night, however, we were planning to go out, so I figured I'd make this for a late-brunch, early-dinner type thing. It tasted delicious, although it took some patience and time. I had some spinach left over, so I just laid some on each plate, and made a quick honey dijon-vinaigrette. If you have the time, this is sure to get everyone running to the dinner table faster than you can say "Mamma mia!"
