Provided by Jen Geelen

Categories     Pies

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box (15 oz) refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
3 eggs
1 c cubed cooked ham
1 c ricotta cheese or small curd cottage cheese
1 c shredded mozzarella
1 c cubed provolone or swiss cheese
4 Tbsp grated parmesan
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 tsp dried oregano
dash(es) pepper
1 beaten egg, if desired

Steps:

Top with second crust; seal edges and flute. Cut slits in crust in several places. Brush beaten egg over top. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese.
  • 3. Place pan on lowest oven rack. Bake 50-60 min or until golden brown. Cover edge of crust with strips of foil after 15-20 min of baking to prevent excessive browning. Let stand 10 min before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough, or it will become tough.
