Italian Easter Pie is called Pizza Rustica. It is a very hearty and filling dish and can be made in different ways. The ingredients that go into the dish usually depend on the region it is being made in, but it usually contains, eggs, ricotta cheese and lots of meat.
Traditional meats used in Pizza Rustica can be salami, prosciutto, ham, sausage or pepperoni. It all depends on your taste and how you want to make it. You can use just one meat or several if you so choose to. You can make your own crust for the pie or you can buy a ready made one to speed things along.
Basically the dish is made by layering the ingredients and then baking the whole thing in the oven. Easter Pie is traditionally served at the end of Lent. It is considered a treat after fasting and serving meatless dishes during the penance.
