Notes

If using the leaflet cake pan, don't over-fill the sections.
You'll have mix leftover so you can always cook the additional in a regular shaped baking pan.
Optional Mix Ins - In my post I added half a cup of whole kernel charred corn from Trader Joe's. I defrosted this and lightly dusted with flour. The other mixed in I used was diced Jalapeño and grated cheese. I diced one chili pepper and dusted with flour and half a cup of grated mexican cheese.
 
Other mix in ideas - bacon and cheddar, sun dried tomatoes, scallions and cheese, saffron. The possibilities are endless!
