Pizzagaina

Servings:

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 3 Top each with a remaining pie crust, crimping the edges together to seal. Brush the top of each pie with beaten egg white.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
