Eaten in Italy as part of a traditional meal on Easter Sunday, this savory pie is filled with creamy ricotta, spinach (or Swiss chard if you wish), Parmigiano and eggs. The result is a gorgeous dish that can be served with fresh salad, vegetables and hot coffee.

Where did Italian Easter Pie come from?

This Easter pie is originally from Genoa, the capital of Liguria in Northwest Italy. In some areas, people hide whole hard-boiled eggs under the crust, while others carefully break uncooked eggs into the filling before baking. Either way, the result is a beautiful cooked egg that will be revealed with the first slice!

The recipe for Easter pie varies across Italy. While Torta Pasqualina is traditional in Liguria, head to Abruzzo in central Italy for pizza rustica, a pie made with soppressata, prosciutto and cheeses. Further south, near Naples, the ingredients include cured meats as well as fresh sausage.

Directions

Step 1: Make dough for crust

In a large food processor, pulse the flour and butter just until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the sugar and salt and pulse to combine. With the motor running, add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to come together. (This will take 5 to 6 tablespoons of water.)

Step 2: Knead and shape dough

As soon as a ball begins to form, turn the pastry dough out onto a floured surface. Knead into a large, smooth ball.

Cut off about 1/3 of the dough to create two pieces, one small and one large. Form both pieces into disks. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

Step 3: Make filling

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Grease a deep-dish pie plate or springform pan. Roll out both disks of dough and place the larger one into the bottom of the dish.

Spread the filling evenly across the dough. Place the hard-boiled eggs in an evenly spaced circle, pressing them down into the spinach filling.

Place the remaining dough on top and crimp the edges. Cut four slits into the dough.

Step 5: Brush on egg wash
