I found this recipe in a local newspaper years ago, originally entitled Italian Rustica Pie. I made a few changes based on my family's preferences. It's a one-dish meal, but not low cal! Ingredients:
2 pie crusts |
3 eggs |
4 ounces mozzarella cheese |
4 ounces provolone cheese |
1 cup ham, cubed |
1 cup ricotta cheese |
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated |
8 ounces frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) |
1/4 teaspoon oregano |
1 dash pepper |
Directions:
1. Prepare pie crusts either from your own recipe or using pre-made crusts from the grocery store.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
3. In a large bowl, slightly beat 3 eggs. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. Spoon filling mixture into piecrust-lined pan. Top with second crust and flute edges. Cut slits in top to vent.
5. May brush top crust with a beaten egg and sprinkle with an additional tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
6. Bake on lowest rack for 50 to 60 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
