Pineapple Philly Pie

 Jacki (California) says:
I've been making this pie for over 30 years with only a few small differences and it is amazing! My variation bakes the first 10 minutes at 400°F. Then lower the temp to 325°F and bake another 30-40 minutes until a knife inserted in the center, comes out clean. You don't want to be serving under cooked eggs.

My mother's original recipe calls for the oven to be at 400°F for the first 10 minutes, then reduced to a slow oven, 350°F for 50 minutes. Total cooking time, 1 hour.
