Ingredients

  • 8 oz sweet soppressata in tiny cubes
  • 2 hard boiled eggs
  • 250 grams Caciotta Cheese I used Montery jack as a sub
  • 4 pieces of bacon chopped up
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 package of tart pastry crust

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare the hard boiled eggs, and cook the bacon until crispy. Roughly chop (or food processor) the hard boiled eggs.
  • In a bowl beat 3 eggs. Add in the soppressata, hard boiled eggs, bacon, and cheese and combine.
  • To a 8-10inch pie pan add a drizzle of olive oil. Lightly press one sheet of crust into the pan. Add in the egg mixture. Top with the second sheet of crust, trimming the edges and using a fork to crimp the edges.
  • Use a fork to make a few holes throughout the top layer. Beat 1 egg in a bowl and brush over the top.
  • Bake for 1 hour, until golden brown and firm.
