Easter Pie Also called Pizza Rustica, Pizza Ripiena, Torta Pasqualina, or Pizzachino is basically a rich quiche type of filling completely enclosed in a buttery pastry. There are many different variations of Easter Pie – one has with 33 layers of crust (one for each year that Christ lived) called Torte Pasqualina and that is made with greens, ham, cheese and hard boiled eggs inside. ... Our Easter pie is filling, savory and delicious! INGREDIENTS For the Crust: 2 ½ cups flour 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper (yes I said 1 tablespoon) ¼ cup vegetable shortening 2 eggs, beaten ½ cup or less warm water 1 egg and one tablespoon milk for egg wash For the Filling: 1 pound whole milk ricotta ½ pound pepperoni, cut into small cubes (don’t use pre-sliced) ¼ pound double Abbruzese, cut into small cubes ½ pound sopressata, cut into small cubes 1/8 pound Genoa salami, cut into small cubes ¼ pound fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes 6 eggs ¼ cup freshly grated Romano cheese ½ tablespoon freshly ground black pepper 1 pound fresh basket cheese ½ pound thinly sliced prosciutto Instructions: In a large bowl, mix flour and black pepper together with a fork. Cut in shortening and mix to pea sized crumbs. Make a well in the center and add beaten eggs and half the water. Mix by hand and keep adding water until a dough forms. (I should note that the traditional crust for this sort of savory pie is a stiff hard crust, not a flaky crust so the next step is contrary to the usual way to make a pie crust but is needed for the crust to be stiff). Knead the dough on the counter for 5-7 minutes, wrap in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees While dough is resting, in a large bowl, mix all filling ingredients except fresh cheese and prosciutto. Break fresh cheese apart with your hands and gently work it into mixture without over mixing. Set mixture aside. Take 2/3 of the dough and roll out to fit your dish or pan, having it cover the bottom and sides, spilling over the top. Lay half the sliced prosciutto on the bottom right over the dough, then cover with the filling. Lay the second half of the prosciutto over the filling. Roll out the other 1/3 portion of the dough and cover the top of the pie, trimming excess. Crimp the edges together tight using a fork to press the two edges together. For the traditional Easter pie, take the excess dough, roll out and cut two dough strips and form a cross on the top of the pie. (Or any other decoration you feel that fits your needs) Make egg wash with the egg and milk and brush all over pie top including the cross and the edges. Make three slits through pie top to let steam escapes. Place in the center of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Lower heat to 350 and bake for 30 more minutes. Lower heat to 300 and bake for 30 more minutes. If not browned enough, bake for 10 more minutes. Cool to room temperature, chill for six hours and serve cold wedges. Will last for up to five days refrigerated.

This "ceviche," uses a ton of juicy watermelon, our fresh mozzarella and some herbs for this perfect summer treat. There’s something super addictive about sweet watermelon with a little salt. And it's another refreshing counterpoint to chicken, steak and other meats on the grill. This ceviche is great served with tortilla chips or on top of some greens. Serves 4-6 Ingredients: – 2 cups diced watermelon (seedless) – 2 cups diced Mozzarella Kings premium mozzarella – 2 tablespoons fresh mint – 1 tablespoon garlic chives (substitute 1 tablespoon regular chives and 1 teaspoon garlic powder) – 2 teaspoons kosher salt – optional: 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or Balsamic Drizzle and a splash of Basil Olive Oil Instructions: Cut the watermelon into one inch thick pieces. Do this by cutting horizontally, then quarter the piece. Remove rind. We aimed to make one inch cubes. Slice the watermelon vertically, the horizontally. Set aside. Next, dice the mozzarella into cubes. Slice vertically and then horizontally, just like with the watermelon. Wash and pat dry the herbs. Remove the mint leaves from the stem, and mince the mint and chives. In a mixing bowl, combine diced watermelon, mozzarella cubes, herbs and salt. Optional: Add balsamic vinegar if you like. Serve in a bowl!
