How to Make Hot Or Sweet Italian Easter Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the sausage and onions over medium heat until the sausage is browned and the onions are softened. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese (if using), salt, and pepper.
  4. Spoon the cooked sausage and onion mixture into the pie crust.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  7. Let cool completely before slicing. Serve at room temperature. This pie can be made 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
