RECIPE BACKSTORY
The recipe came from New Zealand where it is served any time. Nice with a salad for lunch or tea.
In New Zealand they often put the eggs in whole without adding milk and often add a top crust to the pie.
My Kiwi Mother-in-Law made it with whole eggs but my husband preferred the eggs whisked.
This was my husband's favorite meal. I am often asked to bring it to pot-lucks.
