8 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Ham, diced, cooked
15 ounces Cheese, cottage, small curd, drained
15 ounces Cheese, ricotta
⅔ cup Cheese, parmesan, grated
3 larges Eggs, beaten
½ cup Crumbs, bread, dried
½ cup Parsley, minced
¼ cup Onion, minced
1 teaspoon Seasoning, Italian, dried
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
1 dash Sauce, red pepper
1 large Egg yolk, beaten, for the glaze

Directions

In a large bowl, mixed the inch-sized diced ham, and add the cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, beaten egg yolks, Italian spices, salt and pepper and stir.

Add toasted bread crumbs, parsley, and onion and mix well.

In a 9" springform pan, place sufficient pie crust to coat the inside of the pan. Put the filling into this pie crust and then top with a second crust.

Tuck the edges of the pie crust into the inside of the spring form pan and decorate the top crust with dough cutouts of flowers, or pigs, or whatever.

Coat the outer crust with beaten egg yolk and bake.

Bake in a 375 F oven for 1 hour. Let cool to room temperature before removing from the springform pan.
