I made this for a brunch and it got rave reviews. I was a little worried when my pie plate was mostly filled with cheese that it wouldn't hold together but it was fine. The chiles and cheese together were divine! -
This flavorful and easy torta made a very nice weekend breakfast. Will make again. Thanks evelyn/athens. Bullwinkle. -
Wonderfully easy dish with excellent flavor. I used my homemade canned salsa in the recipe. This is a perfectly simple egg dish for breakfast. We served it with my Pumpkin Cornmeal Muffins (recipe #80705) and Fruit Compote (recipe #75473) for a simple weeknight supper. This is our traditional menu for breakfast on Thanksgiving, too.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
