"This is a great dish though I did add some romano and some swiss cheeses and used a bit more cheese than the recipe called for but I think the salt could easily be throttled back to one tablespoon or if you don't mind salting at the table, 2 teaspoons. I was worried about the salt factor so even though I was making these for a dinner with friends, I tasted them when they came out of the oven to make sure that they were not too salty to eat. They were not too salty, but I think I will definitely cut that salt measure in half next time I make them.
