I made this for dinner the other night and it went over very well with my family. Tasted like a chunky super-sized quiche. The brown rice was an interesting ingredient. Will make this one again.

I made this for breakfast during Christmas and am just now getting around to reviewing it. The filling is quite incredible. I thought the brown rice and olives gave the flavor and texture an interesting twist. Very rich and cheesy too. One of the best breakfast pies I have made or tasted. My family and I all thought this was deserving of 5-stars. Thank you Nurse Di.
