"I got this recipe from a William Sonoma cookbook. My mom use to make this dish when I was a child (Several decades ago). She would get the ring out of the mold onto a serving dish and then drizzle the mold with Bechamel sauce #recipe13914 (Also she would add blue food coloring to the sauce) I have to admit that every time I get the ring out of the mold I brake it, so the Bechamel sauce on top covers all the imperfections, plus, it is a great combination."
