Had 44 ladies to my home for Pink Breakfast - this lovely, attractive pie was a big hit. Not complicated, very refreshing, and great to have it ready the night before and just have to bring it out of the refrigerator - very handy when your guests are arriving, all dressed in pink, at 7am! Will use this receipe again - thank you. We can't get egg substitute in this part of Australia, so I used 3 eggs in this recipe.
