Instructions
Pie Crust:
- Add the flour, salt, and butter to a food processor and pulse, adding the water in a thin stream through the chute one tablespoon at a time until the dough begins tiny crumbles (don't let it become a ball).
- Empty it into a sheet of plastic wrap and press it quickly into a ball (you don't want the heat of your hands to melt the butter) and refrigerate for 4 hours before rolling it out to use.
- Wrap the dough into two disks, one being 2/3 of the whole amount, one being 1/3 of the whole amount.
- Roll out the 2/3 quantity pie crust 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface and add to a springform pan, going up the sides of the pan then refrigerate.
Meat Pie Filling:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl mix the ricotta, eggs, ham, salami, bacon, mozzarella cheese and nutmeg.
- Add the filling to the pie crust.
- Roll out the remaining pie crust, lay over the top of the filling and using a fork, press the crusts together around the edge.
- Beat egg and water, brush the top of the pie then cut two 2 inch slits in the middle of the top.
- Bake for 70-80 minutes until golden brown, then remove from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
- Note: If the crust starts to brown too early, tent with foil gently.
