This is a fantastic recipe - really interesting balance of flavors, and works well for brunch or dinner. I don't use the recommended pie crust, just make my own or use a frozen one, I don't add in the dry milk, and tend to use whatever cheese I have on hand. It's a little time-intensive, because you have to cook the veggies first, but its worth the extra effort.
