Rustic Italian Sausage Pie

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Rustic Italian Sausage Pie.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   In a spacious skillet set over medium heat, brown the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon until it’s crumbly and golden, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once cooked, drain any excess grease to keep your dish light.

4. Step 4

   In a large mixing bowl, blend together the grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, ricotta cheese, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

5. Step 5

   Next, fold in the cooked sausage, chopped prosciutto, and fresh parsley, ensuring every ingredient is evenly distributed for a burst of flavor in every bite.

6. Step 6

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out one pie crust into an 11-inch circle and gently transfer it to a pie plate, allowing a 1/2-inch overhang.

7. Step 7

   Use a fork to pierce the crust all over, creating little vents for steam to escape.

8. Step 8

   Spread the savory sausage and cheese mixture evenly over the bottom crust, creating a delicious layer of goodness.

9. Step 9

   Roll out the second pie crust into a 12-inch circle and drape it over the filling.

10. Step 10

    Crimp the edges together to seal in all that flavor, and don’t forget to cut several slits in the top crust to let the steam escape during baking.

11. Step 11

    Place your pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the center is set and the crust has turned a beautiful golden brown.
