This recipe has been in my family on my mother's side for generations.
The Pizza Rustica or Easter Pie originated in Naples around the 17th century. It's basically a type of quiche.
To make:
Mix in bowl
2 pounds (32 oz container) of ricotta cheese
1/2 pound provolone cheese cut up
1 pound shredded mozzarella
1 pepperoni stick sliced
1/2 pound of hard salami
1/2 pound ham deli sliced and cut up
1 egg
You could also layer your meats and provolone but I prefer everything shredded and mixed.
Roll out your dough into a pan. I usually grease it with butter. The ready made pie crust is a time saver.
Dump in the mix and put another layer of pie crust on top. Seal it up good and poke a few holes in it.
If you want, brush on some milk or cream or egg to make it golden.
Put it in the oven at 350 for 1 hour.
