Notes

The crust should be blind-baked for flakiness.
Add-Ins to the filling should be pre-cooked and drained well to avoid greasy, soggy messes.
One can add:
  • Cooked cubed ham
  • Crispy Bacon
  • Caramelized onions
  • Browned mushrooms
  • Cooked spinach
  • Fresh parsley 
  • Assorted cheeses
  • Sauteed diced bell peppers
  • Seeded, minced Jalapeno
For this base, 1 cup of cheese and 2 cups of veggies are needed at most .
Serve with a fruit cup, or salad.  
This was always a hit in the Bad Wolf Kitchen, leftovers can be refrigerated and eaten cold, or reheated in a microwave. (And around the lair there were rarely any leftovers of anything)
