This was good. A little bland, but still good.

I have been searching for this recipe for a long time. My grandmother made one of these every Easter. I made this for Easter this year. I used the lower fat version. Everyone raved about it!! It was delicious!!!!!!!! Just like my grandmother made.

This was very good I made a few changes, I added mushrooms and pepparoni delish. It was also very easy to put together, the only thing I would say was having to wait an hour, it was worth it but just incase next time I'll prepare in advance then just pop in the oven.

I would have liked it better with ham and more filling. Next time I will add more to the egg mixture. Maybe ham and broccoli or something along those lines.

Two of my guy-friends asked me to marry them after scarfing down two pieces each of this delicious pie. They were joking of course, but I think this recipe might just be good enough to cause that reaction for real at some point so ladies be aware. I used sweet Italian turkey sausage to cut the fat and also added frozen spinach (actually it was a frozen spinach with a cream sauce so I guess I cheated a tiny bit on the flavor) but thats just cuz I was too lazy to drain the sauce.

I added one clove of minced fresh garlic, substituted pepperoni for the ham and cut back on the parsley. It was really great though next time I think I might increase the cheeses and spice level of the meats.

I made this for Easter and I felt like I was with my Italian Grandmother again! I used spicy Italian turkey sausage and turkey pepperoni for the meats to cut down on some of the fat and only the bottom pic crust. Dee-Licious!!!

This was so easy to make and smelled great while baking. I don't think it had even cooled 5 minutes before my family was already digging in! I added spinach to give it a bit of color and added nutrition. Highly recommend!
