    This is absolutely delicious. I've made it 4 times and love it. It's a great light lunch too if having guests over.
    I added mushrooms and some shredded ham too.

    Delicious pie, great for using up some leftover cream cheese. I added ricotta instead of the cream and it turned out well. Kalamata olives were a great addition and gave it a nice flavour. My toddler loved this. Will make again!

    This was delicious and very easy to make.  I didn't have kalamata olives at the time so just used green stuffed ones and it still turned out delicious!  Big Smile
