Fresh out of the oven. It puffs like a souffle somewhat, then falls a bit as it cools.

I've been looking through my bookmarked recipes and realized I had never added a variation on this recipe I made because we had a dinner guest that was severely allergic to mushrooms. Black garlic. I used 4 or 5 heads, the ones we get are about the size of a large crimini (brown) mushroom. It came out great.
