Every year on Easter, my grandmother serves the most
delicious Italian Easter pie.
The tradition goes that after fasting throughout lent, we indulge
like a piggy on Easter.
This Easter pie, better known as Pizza Rustica, is filled
with meats, cheese, and eggs.
And, oh my goodness,
is it yummy!!! My man was drooling for a
month before it was served!
Recently, I have gotten several e-mail requests on how to
make this yummy dish.
Instead of responding individually, I decided to share this
famous recipe with everyone.
Way to make me hungry,
people! I kid, I kid. Buon appetit!
Pizza Rustica
2 Pie Crusts
¼ lb Salami
¼ lb Ham
¼ lb Soppressata
¼ lb Pepperoni
8 Eggs
½ Cup Parmesan Cheese
16 oz Mozzarella
16 oz Ricotta
Take each meat and make sure the skin has been removed. Dice eat meat into ¼” pieces and separate them. For the majority
of the meats, I use my cooking scissor. Dice
the chunk of mozzarella into ¼” pieces and put to the side. In a bowl, beat the (8) eggs and mix in the
Parmesan and the mozzarella into it.
This pie is made with
layers, so try not to mix the ingredients together.
Lay the bottom pie crust along the bottom on the pie
tray. Coat with a thin layer of your egg
mixture along the bottom. In separate
layers, spread each meat all across the bottom of the pie. In between each layer of meat, spread an
equal amount of ricotta, and the egg mixture.
Continue this until the pie is full and all of your ingredients have
been used. Top the pie with the second
pie crust and seal it closed.
Nanny always brushes melted
butter and pokes a few small holes in the top pie crust.
Preheat the oven to 325* and bake for an hour and half.
Yummy, yummy, yummy!
Have you ever or will you ever make pizza rustica?
oh, my, I can't remember when was the last time I ate pizza.... I usually make it just with shredded carrots, garlic, ketchup and cheese :)
ReplyDeleteKetchup??? You don't use tomato sauce? I might just go get a slice for lunch. Nom nom nom
DeleteI actually use ajvar, but I didn't know how to translate it :) It's a sauce made from roasted red peppers, garlic and roasted eggplant, all minced and cooked together. It's our national delicacy
DeleteMmmmmm I've never made a stuffed pizza. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteSoooo good. It's actually not pizza. It's a pie!
DeleteI have only ever tried pizza once in my life like 20 years ago, that was it haha
ReplyDeleteSo you are telling me you came to NY and NOW you spill that you never had pizza?? For once, blabber has no words.
Deleteever pizza I ever made ended badly
ReplyDeleteWhy?!
DeleteI have never had this! It sounds absolutely perfect! I want a slice!
ReplyDeleteIts sooooo yummyyy
Deletegood morning, Jax girl...this sounds sooo good...and I am dying to try it.
ReplyDeleteNow, we eat differently out here on the Plains of West Texas than NY and there's one meat here,
Soppressata, that I've never heard of in my whole, entire looooong life. I doubt I could even find it out here. So, what can i use to sub...??
and is this all in a 9" pie pan or bigger.? I just may make this one for my ladies coming on Mon night....:) with one of those Mia Tyes.....lol
You can try prosciutto!! That would be yummy also, but make sure it's sliced thin. I'm not sure about the pan size. I l only have one and always thought it to be a standard size. Mai tais too??? Im a jealous lady!!!
Deleteok..i googled.....a dry Salami
ReplyDeleteMy family calls it super sod, but the real word is sopressesta. Lol
DeleteOh my, now that's an epic pizza pie
ReplyDeleteYum, yum. A pizza so good, you'd raise yourself from the dead to get one. I wonder if Jesus ever tried it. "Lazarus, come out! We're serving Pizza Rustica!"
ReplyDeleteI remember you and I discussing this pizza a long time ago. I think you even sent me this recipe but I never got around to making it. I need to, it just sounds too delicious!

Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
