Time 5h5m

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the Crust:
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cubed)
1 large egg
7 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage
1 (15-ounce) container whole-milk ricotta cheese
8 ounces mozzarella cheese (shredded or cubed)
4 large eggs (divided)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 ounces salami (cubed)
4 ounces prosciutto (thinly sliced)
1 cup roasted red bell peppers (whole)
20 ounces frozen spinach (chopped)
1 cup Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Pulse the flour, salt, and butter together in your food processor until you have fine crumbs. Pour in the egg and continue to pulse.
  • Slowly pour the water into the food processor as you are blending until the dough comes together to form a shaggy ball.
  • Remove the dough. Divide it into two flat disks and wrap in plastic wrap. Allow it to rest in the fridge while you prepare the filling. You can make the crusts up to a day in advance.
  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Cook the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break up the sausage as it cooks and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sausage is completely cooked through and browned. Set it aside and allow it to cool.
  • Whisk together the ricotta, mozzarella cheese, 3 of the eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl until completely blended.
  • Stir the cubed salami into the egg mixture.
  • On a floured surface, roll out one of the crusts into a large 16-inch circle.
  • Lay the curst carefully into an 8-inch springform pan and gently press into the bottom. Leave about an inch of dough hanging over the edge of the pan and trim any excess.
  • Layer the prosciutto slices into the bottom of the crust.
  • Spread the ricotta mixture in an even layer over the top of the prosciutto.
  • Sprinkle the top of the ricotta mixture with the cooked Italian sausage and press down to create an even layer.
  • Layer the red bell peppers over the sausage.
  • Top with the spinach and Parmesan cheese.
  • Roll out the second pie crust into another circle. This one can be smaller, more like 12 inches.
  • Place the top crust over the top of the pie and crimp the bottom and top crusts together, sealing the pie.
  • Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Cut four long cuts into the top of the pie and brush the crush with the egg wash.
  • Bake on a baking sheet in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature has reached 150 F.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least three hours before cutting. You can also cool it completely and place it in the fridge for up to 2 days.

EASTER BRUNCH PIE



Easter Brunch Pie image

This brunch pie is an awesome way to use leftover holiday ham. The buttery flaky crust holds an egg and cheese mixture filled with chunks of savory ham. The cheeses and seasoning complement the ham perfectly in this pie. Ricotta cheese and eggs give this pie a different texture. The filling was a little bit softer than a quiche...

Tips:

  • To ensure a flaky crust, use cold butter and ice water. Work the butter into the flour quickly, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the butter from melting and making the crust tough.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid overworking it. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Be sure to trim the edges of the dough evenly before crimping them together. This will help ensure that the pie crust seals properly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the filling. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the pie.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. This could cause the filling to bubble over and make the crust soggy.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:
