Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 pounds ricotta cheese

  • 6 large eggs

  • 1 pound cooked ham, chopped

  • ½ pound Genoa salami, chopped

  • ½ pound mozzarella cheese, grated

  • ¼ pound prosciutto, chopped

  • 4 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Place ricotta in a large mixing bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time, with an electric mixer on low speed. Stir in ham, salami, mozzarella, and prosciutto until well combined.

  3. Line two 9-inch pans with pastry. Divide ricotta mixture between the pans. Sprinkle each pie with Parmesan cheese, then cover with top pastry. Crimp the edges and cut steam vents in tops.
