Ingredients
- 2 recipes pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
- 3/4 pound Italian sausage links
- 6 hard-cooked eggs, diced
- 1 cup diced Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced Provolone cheese
- 1-1/2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 to 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll out pastry to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place bottom crusts in 2 pie plates. Roll out top crusts and set aside.
- Cut sausage into 1 inch pieces. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook sausage until brown. Place sausage in a large bowl, and add hard cooked eggs, Cheddar cheese, Provolone cheese, ricotta cheese, and parsley. Mix together and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add raw egg to mixture. Mix well and check consistency - it should not be loose or runny, but should hold together well. Add one more raw egg if necessary.
- Spoon filling into 2 pastry-lined pie pans, and cover with other 2 pastry shells. Seal edges and cut steam vents in top. Brush top pastry with melted butter or margarine.
- Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, until golden brown.
