Servings: 8
Calories: 474kcal
Ingredients
- double pie dough for 9-inch pie pan
- 6 large eggs beaten
- 2 cups diced ham about ½ pound
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper for topping
Instructions
- Place one of the pie crusts in the bottom of a greased 9” pie plate. Flute the edges. Chill the pie crust for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Place parchment paper in the bottom of the pie crust, then fill with pie weights or dry beans. Blind bake the pie crust for 15 minutes or until the edges are starting to brown. Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Then add the ham, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, oregano and garlic powder. Mix well.
- Pour the cheese and ham mixture into the baked bottom crust. Place the second pie crust on top and flute the edges to seal. (Set aside any excess pastry to make a cinnamon thing!)
- Use a sharp knife to make 3 slits across the top of the pie crust. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Bake at 350ºF for one hour.
- Store any leftover ham pie in the refrigerator in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap.
Notes
- If you don’t have a deep dish pie plate, you can also use a springform pan since it has deep sides.
- You can also use cheddar cheese or swiss cheese.
- For a golden brown look, use a pastry brush to brush an egg wash over the top pie crusts.
- Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
