Pizzagaina, also called Italian Easter pie, is a much-anticipated savory treat during Easter. It can be quite an undertaking to prepare, but I’ve got a simplified recipe here. Italian nonnis may curse me, but it tastes great!
Ingredients
- 4 unbaked 9-inch pie crusts, divided
- 2 (16 ounce) containers whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ pound sweet capicola (coppa)
- ½ pound hot capicola (coppa)
- ¼ pound pepperoni
- 1 large egg white, slightly beaten
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press 1 pie crust each into the bottom of two 9-inch pie dishes; set aside.
Step 2
Mix together ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and eggs in a large bowl until well combined. Roughly chop sweet capicola, hot capicola, and pepperoni; fold into cheese mixture. Divide evenly between the prepared pie dishes.
Step 3
Top each with a remaining pie crust, crimping the edges together to seal. Brush the top of each pie with beaten egg white.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
