Italian Easter Rice Pie image

***PLEASE NOTE I HAVE CORRECTED THE NUMBER OF PIES WHICH THIS RECIPE MAKES, FROM 2 TO 4... THANK YOU TO THE REVIEWERS FOR BRININGT HIS TO MY ATTENTION****Compilation of other recipes I've tried in the never ending quest to duplicate another one of my grandmother's recipes. Many make this with lemon zest/juice or candied citron. We always served this on Easter, it's not too sweet, and not too heavy either> Just right after a big Easter Dinner.

Time 1h

Yield 4 pies, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 prepared pie crusts
12 eggs
3 cups cooked white rice
3 lbs ricotta cheese
3 cups white sugar
3 tablespoons orange zest
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (divided)

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven to 350 degrees and line 2 9" Pie Pans with the crusts, refrigerate and reserve.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the next 6 ingredients with a large spoon until thoroughly combined (no electric mixers here, it'll ruin the rice).
  • Divide filling between 4 prepared pie crusts, sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Bake about 45 minutes or until filling is set in the middle (no longer giggling).
  • Allow to cool completely before serving, this actually tastes best when refrigerated overnight.

I'm not a fan of peas, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious!

I used a different type of cheese than the recipe called for, but it still turned out great.

I made this rice pie in a muffin tin and it turned out great. It's a great way to make individual servings.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I substituted the eggs with a flax egg. It worked perfectly!

This rice pie is a great way to use up leftover rice. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time.

I love the combination of flavors in this rice pie. The salty cheese and the sweet peas are a perfect match.
