This was REALLY good!! I served it hot and added a few slices of deli ham (chopped)into it. My dad is on the Atkins diet, so this was great for him along with the salad I served with it, thanks, I wil def. be making this again...I already have requests from my dad :)!!

I made this for a picnic and served it at room temperature and everyone liked it except me ... so I heated it up and tried it again and it was fantastic!!!! The flavors are wonderful - I highly recommend this for people trying to eat low carb. As far as whether to eat hot or cold - it depends on if you're wierd like me :-)

This was just okay for me. I've made zuchinni pie with a crust and prefer that recipe. I cooked this 25 minutes, and maybe it was a little too long for my oven, as I didn't like the browned cheese on top.
