Mediterranean Pie

---

This is a delicious savoury pie guaranteed to impress at a special breakfast or brunch! Its a favourite of karen brimacombe, one of the authors of the best of bridge series! its too large a large pie for just the 2 of us - so i made half the recipe this morning in a corning baking dish; it required 60 minutes of baking time. Editted to add comments: since it would be easier to serve from a springform pan, i recently purchased a half-sized one from dollarama!!
