O my am I a good cook! I was seriously so big-headed after I made this meal, it was delicious! The best part being that it was absolutely a piece of cake! Seriously! It was absolutely PACKED with flavor and both of us devoured every last bite. The creamy cheese in the middle with a kick, the perfect panko mixture on the outside...o man! My mouth is watering as I type!
