This is an excellent recipe for any meal but we love it for breakfast. The broccoli-parsley combination gives it the freshest taste. Also, it is good hot or cold. You can also prepare it without crust; to cut out those calories. It is so rich, you won't miss it and it still holds its shape. – Reviewed by Cathy Gonzalez
