I have a really, really picky eater so when I made these tonight and my son said, “These are so good!” I nearly fell out of my chair (yes, still working). I swear in recent memory I do not ever recall hearing him say anything I actually made was good. I made it as listed except I added in three crumbled pieces of turkey bacon and skipped the basil because I didn’t have any.
