How to Make Italian Cheese Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Add 1 cup of cooked and diced Italian sausage (or your choice of meat) and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese to the ricotta mixture. Gently stir to distribute evenly.
  4. Place your prepared pie crust(s) in a pie plate(s).
  5. Evenly spoon the cheese and meat mixture into the pie crust(s).
  6. For a decorative touch, create a lattice top using pie crust strips or a simple crimped edge.
  7. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  8. Let the pie cool completely for at least 45 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly and prevents a messy slice.
  9. Serve warm or cold, sliced into wedges. Enjoy!
