- 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
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.
