Hello fellow Foodies! I just watched this episode and Sandra said if you want to bake this in the oven, you can do so on 350 for about 15 mins. But beware, it might come out a little dry due to the lightened version using no liquid. Sandra's words, not mine. Hope this helps all those who posted this query.

When I ran across this recipe, it was completely by accident, even though I love Sandra's recipes. I have prepared this twice now, and both times people have asked me to fix it again for them. They really enjoyed it. I would like to know what I need to do differently to be able to cook it in the oven. Thanks in advance.
