Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package Italian sausage, casings removed
2 (8 ounce) packages grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
4 large eggs
1 (3 ounce) package prosciutto, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 (9-inch) prepared pie crusts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain grease.
Mix together Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, and eggs in a large bowl until well combined. Stir in cooked sausage, prosciutto, and parsley until incorporated.
Roll 1 pie crust into an 11-inch circle on a lightly floured work surface. Transfer to a pie plate, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Pierce crust all over with a fork. Spread sausage mixture over crust. Roll remaining pie crust into a 12-inch circle; place on top. Seal and flute edges. Cut several slits in top crust to permit steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven until center is set and crust is browned, about 1 hour.

Recipe Tip

You can substitute 1/4 cup finely chopped smoked ham or pepperoni for prosciutto if desired.
