"This pie appears every Christmas at my family's gatherings and has for several generations. It is very dense, rich, and oh, so good! Cut the finished pie into one-inch pieces to serve as an appetizer, rather than as an entree. Substitute sharp Cheddar for the Asiago if you prefer, and try an 8-inch square pan instead of a pie plate. Good cold or warm."
