Hi Kathy Well, 4-or 5 stars? Since I modified the recipe, I'm not sure--Probably 4 but my error not yours. I started with your basic recipe, but made several modifications based on preference and ingredients on hand. It came out delicious, but a little bit soggy on the bottom. I thought 4-4oz containters (or 1lb) of feta too much so did about 7-8 oz, what I had on hand anyway. Don't like cottage cheese so used ricotta. Added a few handfuls of additional veggies: mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, green onion chopped small. volume perfect for jellyroll pan. I'm imagining variations using beer, fruit, other cheeses, italian salamis, etc. This seems like it could be very adaptable Thank you for this great recipe for making my own Judy in WA
