Italian Easter Pie, also known as pizzagaina and pizza rustica, is a hearty and decadent savory pie packed full with cured meats, cheeses and eggs in a buttery crust! It’s traditionally enjoyed in Italian households to signify the end of Lent, and that Easter has arrived! For a really traditional Italian Easter Pie, I show you how to make the pastry crust, but you can also use store bought pastry if that’s easier!

I'm here, Sorella! =)
This looks so good! I’ve never had a pie like this before! I’m gonna try with pre-made pastry first, as I’m not super confident, but the filling looks easy! 🎉🎉🎉 thx dani
Hi Daniella.
That pie looks so good. I can imagine the flavour of the crust and filling. At the moment, I'm keeping pastries to a now and then treat. So I thought your recipe would still be ok as a crustless or just a light pastry top. I could line my pie dish with parchment paper and add the filling, leaving it to bake as is or add the puff pastry top.
I'm think this recipe would be great for say six individual, 1 serve pies bakery style.
Sorry for breaking away from the traditional method, but I was just thinking what would suit me best. Make a whole pie or individuals, round and rectangular 🤔
Love the rolling pin. What woods is it made of?
Thank you for todays recipe.
Cheers Daniella 👍🤤😻🙏
Why aren’t we eating more of this in deep-dish Chicago! Look how thick and rich.
I absolutely loved how you explained everything in this video! 👌 Just a quick thought: a few SEO tweaks could help your channel reach even more viewers. Let me know if you ever want to discuss it!
Looks yummy! I will definitely be making this. Thank you!
Not only does this looks delicious Dani, but its absolutely beautiful!! I’ve never had an Easter pie. I sure would love to try this 🥰
Brilliant! That is about all I really need to say here in the comments! (even though I said more!?)
I was surprised by the three different kinds of meat you had, and the nutmeg! I've never had this before, but it looks like something I would love! And yes, perfect for Easter!
