Green Olive and Pine Nut Egg Casserole

Green Olive and Pine Nut Casserole  Rating: 8

This was a marriage of two recipes.  I took the basic egg casserole recipe from this post (minus 1 egg, the zucchini and the chiles) and raised it from a 6 to an 8 by adding in the yumminess inspired by Peter Berley's Green Olive Frittata with Ricotta, Pine Nuts, and Thyme as seen in his book The Flexitarian Table; namely, 1/3 cup slice green olives, 3 Tbsp. toasted pine nuts, fresh parsley, thyme, and rosemary, and a large handful of fresh spinach.

It was a nice pop of flavor with the olives.  The leftovers kept well and the toasted pine nuts were even better in it the second day.  It was quick and easy.
