Italian Easter Pie - lot of cheese and meat

#1

Post by Bugtussel »

I frequent an Italian market near my one workplace and once asked what this basket cheese was around Easter time. Comes out before Easter and seemed to be used mostly for making Italian Easter Pie or pizza rustica. 4-5 meats and 4-6 cheeses.

I actually use the crust from the Brown Eyed Baker with similar ingredients from both of these recipes.

Pizzacana !!! Easter isn't the same without our family sharing this dish. Lot's of mozzarella, ricotta, eggs, pepperoni, ham, some spices stuffed into a pie crust made from homemade pizza dough. It looks like a chicken pot pie to my non-Italian friends.
