I loved this pie! I made it as directed, except I didn't have any ground cumin; only cumin seed. I crushed that as best I could and used about a half teaspoon of it (I find cumin to be overpowering in large amounts). This was wonderful. My whole family loved it, and what left-overs there were were soon gone. I did not prebake the crust but didn't have any problem with a soggy crust. I think all of the cheese in the recipe guards against that! Again, this one's a winner1

Thsi had a great taste and it was lighter than I expected it to be with all the cheese. I had one problem - I might have put too much cheese in the crust because the liquid overflowed somewhat, but my family liked it a lot,k and my husband told me to be sure to save it. (and it was very easy to prepare)
