This pie was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not sure why this recipe calls for hard-boiled eggs. I think it would be better without them.

I'm not a fan of ham, so I substituted it with cooked chicken. It turned out great!

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
