Notes

  • Bake your dish on the top rack of the oven so the topping becomes caramelized and browned..  
  • Switch out the fresh herbs if you like, but I think that the fresh dill is absolutely the best option.
  • Don’t worry so much about the measurements for this dish, it’s going to turn out delicious and it is nearly impossible to mess up.
