This is like an Italian pie I'm wondering do you add meat to it is it a vegetarian dish is it baked or fried in a skillet I want to know just a variation this looks great the way it is perhaps the variation may cause an issue let me know another take on this if there's a possibility and once I try it I'll definitely let you know thanks
