  Absolutely delicious. Would make perfect picnic food. Great for veggies - a change from quiche. Will definitely make again.

  This is so yummy. It didn't last long and only 2 people ate it !!!!!! I did it without the asparagus and with wholemeal flour, to make more healthy ........so I could eat more !! delicious

  Delicious and so simple. I used sunflower oil, asparagus tips - blanched for 1 minute and chopped the olives otherwise all the same. Next time I'll cook for longer than 35 mins as slightly gooey in middle (should have checked with skewer). Served with salad, all the family enjoyed and though I planned to try it cold next day, it all went so maybe next time :)

  Disappointed with what looked like a delicious combination of ingredients. Unfortunately the olive flavour from the oil and olives completely swamped the delicate flavour of the asparagus. Texture-wise my family found it a bit stodgy and much prefer my courgette loaf which is similar but much lighter in texture. I followed the recipe exactly so I don't think I shall be making this again.

  This tasted great and was perfect for pre-dinner nibbles, would also be lovely for a picnic or at a summer barbeque. Looked impressive and just as it did in the recipe image, will be making this again soon.

  Absolutely delicious. Have made this twice now but the second time cooked for 50 minutes as the first one was a bit gooey in the middle.

  Gorgeous, I made two small loves rather than one big loaf and put one in the freezer, very moorish very difficult to stop eating it as it is so delicious. Used sun dried tomato paste as couldn't find sun dried tomatoes at the time.

  Hi Hulda, i dont suppose it would matter too much using tinned. Personally if it was me i wouldnt cook it first as i think it would be soft enough.x

  This was very good. Served it with homemade tomato soup. Only had 2 eggs but it didn't seem to make any difference to the texture.

  A little disappointed as it looked devine. Seemed a little too bland and I followed recipe exactly, so not sure why. On a positive note it froze well.

  What can be used instead of olives as I'm not keen on their taste! Are there any other ingredients that could be added in too? Cheers Hungry Jenny x

  Brilliant - again followed recipe and turned out so well I made it two days later. Jenny, have a go with the olives as my partner doesn't like them but really enjoyed this recipe. Great for pre-dinner nibble with drinks. A triumph!

  Fabulous loaf.Have made this loaf three times now ,it freezes well too. It is gorgeous as pre dinner nibble with drinks,or even just sitting in the garden with friends and a glass of wine, the last time of making it was to take to my daughters for that reason, the company was a good mixture of ages and it went down wonderfully well with everyone. Certainly a favourite with me and my family!

  very tasty, turned out beautifully. Took another 10 mins to cook on a lower temperature. I only used half the amount of cheese to lower the fat content. I was not sure about the 'cakey' texture though, I think next time I may try the ingredients in a bread dough not with SR flour.
