Innkeeper Comments: "This recipe can be divided among greased ramekins, shells, cupcake pans, or custard cups for individual servings. Sometimes we serve these already removed from individual pans onto guests' plates or to a large platter with crumbled sausage sprinkled over then garnished with oregano leaves and stems. So versatile."
