3.place portions in baking dish using ramekins or small casserole dishes*

4.Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes (top will turn golden brown)

5.Allow to cool just a few minutes before serving, it will set and be more flavorful as it cools slightly.


Notes

Depending upon what you serve as a side dish you can get 3 portions out of this. You really don't want to make it any smaller than ⅓ of a pound per person though. If you want to stretch this, think about making stuffed shrimp with the filling, that could easily serve 4 people.
