Mix with all remaining ingredients except buttered crumbs. Spoon into a 1-quart casserole or 6 individual bakers or shells. Top with buttered crumbs. Bake individual servings in moderate oven (350ºF) until mixture begins to bubble. (20 to 25 minutes). Bake in 1-quart casserole 25-30 minutes. Garnish with stuffed olive slices. Served with a green or fruit salad, and coffee...it's bound to be a favorite! Makes 6 servings.
