I had a bunch of requests for this one. This savory Italian Easter pie is typically served on Easter morning. The grain pie, Pastiera Napoletana, which is a dessert will be coming to my website in case you're wondering, but I won't be able to make a video for that one in time. Definitely next year. The full print recipe is always linked in the description. As always, thanks so much for watching and liking my videos!
Another great one Jim. I just recommended your channel to a cab driver who is 1/2 Italian & wanted to learn how to cook more Italian foods. I told him how to make 'soffritto' while we were driving to our destination- LOL. I have a favor to ask of you, can you find out if any of the grocers, in Jersey, will ship Pecorino Romano to the West Coast? I can't find it anywhere.
@@SipandFeast You're welcome. Thanks for the recommendation but I refuse to use Amazon until Jeff Bezos pays his employees enough salary so they don't need food stamps.
I love how you are so pleased with how the pie came together, but you absolutely glow when your son is chowing down. You’re like the Italian Nona I wish I had, cooking for your family, and we are lucky enough to sit in the kitchen and watch and learn. 💜
I have to say your channel is the best for home cooks. You use plenty of good technique in your cooking, but also keep it simple enough ingredient wise. 10/10
Thanks very much! I try my best to make things realistic for the typical home cook who has other things to do than cook for 8 hours. I cut down on long techniques or hard to find ingredients when I can.
You're a great Chef/Instructor! I love all your videos and recipes, but watching you with your son enjoying what you have created is so beautiful! Good man
I keep coming back to this video because that Italian Easter pie of yours is what dreams are made of, okay? The bestest, the most delicious looking Pizza Rustica I've ever seen.
I’m glad to see some of else carrying this recipe on. I’m the only one in my family who still makes this. My grandma however still makes the dessert pie. I’de love to see your rendition of it
I haven't eaten that in a long time. As a child my aunt and mom always made it for the day after Easter. Folks, you will not be disappointed with this dish. Thanx for the memories and Happy Easter to all. 🐇
This was new to me, thanks. I like the nutmeg, provides that little something extra. While the food is great it's your interaction with your son that makes your videos special. Thanks for sharing your time together with us.
South African here, Afrikaans to be specific. Just wanted to say keep up the good work and thanks for doing all these vids. Our cuisine is so different to yours and it's great to get these videos that are authentic, realistic and not pretentious. All the best
@@SipandFeast that's awesome. Absolutely worth doing. If you like cured meats you have to give biltong a try, very easy to make. Every person who likes cured meats that tries the stuff goes crazy for it.
Eek! My FAVORITE! I used to make it every year with my Nana. She used to make 11 pies!! Everyone would come get some! Boy do I miss her! I make it now buts not the same without her. Thanks for video! Looks amazing as usual!
You have a very appealing manner. You respect your viewers, you seem like a regular guy who is very knowledgeable and happy to share it. The best thing is seeing how happy you are to feed your kids and make them happy.
Just like my father used to make. We all used to help cut the meats as my father would make them every Easter to deliver to his 7 brothers and sisters. A long-held tradition in our big Italian family. We always used basket cheese. Of course, he never wrote the recipe down so I've looked for years for just the right one, and bingo -- you nailed it! Grazie!
Well I know what I am going to prepare for Easter dinner this year. It's been a long time thanks for the reminder. The interactions with your son are just priceless❤ enjoy your Easter with your family, thanks for sharing.
@@SipandFeast Yeah i have her old recipe, first ingredient is 10 dozen eggs :) She never used ricotta cheese though, just eggs, ham, provolone, mozzarella and grated cheese. I'll have to try making it with ricotta some time
This brought back so very many memories. My great aunt Jennie from Naples made this every Easter. She used a dozen eggs and 4 other Italian meats as well, but wow I've not seen anyone make this family easter pie. My sister found your channel and told me to watch this recipe. Glad I did. Have a great day
Thanks! After much research your recipe for Easter Pie looks like the absolute best. I should have known! This is my first try at this. My grandmother used to make it every year without a recipe. I love watching your videos.
Man this takes me back.... One of the best holiday treats my family made. Growing up Italian in Connecticut, a lot of your videos bring me back to my childhood....
Jim. You are absolutely killing it. The video quality, chef skill and recipes are outstanding. Ever consider live cooking classes? They would sell out in a heartbeat. Happy Easter Sir🐰
Another awesome meal. I like how you said you could mix up the filling how ever you want with what you have. You never know what's available at time when you want to try this recipe. Love it when you and James share the tasting. James is the best!! And you're an awesome father!! Thank you for sharing.
WOW!!! I haven’t had this in years,, since I was in single digits kinda years :) My grandmother used to make this,, my mom was not what you’d call talented when it came to cooking, so after my grandmother passed I never had it again. I can’t wait to try this, I may not wait for Easter! Thanks for such a great memory! 👍
Thanks for the feedback. I make my videos a bit different than most cooking TH-camrs and wasn't sure if I needed to make them more like they do. I guess I will keep trying to perfect this style, for now.
I made one of these myself the other day, and I too am NOT a baker or even a good cook, but my family loved it. It's quite different and pretty impressive looking. Great recipe!
OMG! All 4 of my grandparents migrated from Italy as adults-so I grew up in a traditional Italian culture. One of my grandmothers made this every Easter. We called it Shadone. None of my relatives cooked with a recipe, so nothing was ever written down. I so regret not asking her how this was made. Thank you! 💕💕💕💕
My family was the same. They did things without recipes. I had my Mom write down a few but she only wrote the ingredients, not the amount. She made killer soups & took their recipes to her grave. I would give my eyeteeth to have her Mushroom Beef Barley Soup again.
I wanted to learn to make this as a surprise for my Italian American husband. Subscribed. You are so likeable and nice. And this looks delicious. Wish me luck! I too have a hundred year old rolling pin lol. After my own heart!
Honestly, I'll probably never make 90% of these recipes lol. But dude, I absolutely adore your approach to the food channels here. You bring such an ernest and awesome presence to the whole genre and I love just putting you on to have fun watching. Keep it up man 💜
Almost Exactly The recipe has been handed down to my family since they came to America in 1910. Sip love it one thing I will share with you secret lol the top they frosted a little bit that was the secret amazing.
My mother made it every Easter-she only stopped a couple of years ago, once she turned 90. So delicious. So fattening! This looks just like what my mom made, only she made a bigger one in a rectangular pan.
EXCELLENT VIDEO... even if it is a long video. In show business we say "Show don't Tell"... here in New Mexico with Netflix... I do commercials and help EDIT short films... and am told all the time "Judi, this needs to be shown at the same time as the talking... EDIT it... 3 to 5 seconds per scene. 7 Seconds for a wide shot. Voice over if you have to... "Cut it down" I love this video and your Pie came out so BEAUTIFUL Thank YOU for sharing this video.
Wow Jim , I’m no baker but I’ve made all your recipes so I really have to trust you on this one. I was going to buy one but with your help I’ll make it myself. Wish me luck. Thanks
We have been making this for Easter and our family for generations, but we never make ours with the pizza crust… my great great grandmother never made it with a pizza crust, and neither did the rest of the family down through the generations.. it is single-handedly my most favorite things to eat at Easter. A dangerous concoction of cholesterol and high blood pressure that is so addicting! So worth it.😂
Excellent! Though I have to say *my* favorite Easter pie is the grain pie my grandmother used to bake. None of the bakeries on Long Island seem to get it right. Not that it stops me ;)
Thanks! I made the grain pie (Pastiera Napoletana) as well. I posted short video on my IG last week. It will be released in a few days on my website, but I don't have enough time for a video this year unfortunately. There are a few bakeries in Bethpage that make it, I believe.
@@SipandFeast Oh, there are lots of bakeries that sell it. There's just none that compare to my memories of Grandmas. :) But like I said, it never stops me from eating it!
I was really impressed with my version. The kids devoured it. I tweaked the initial recipe with a bit more orange flavor. I did screw up the traditional diamond lattice. Probably because I still had the square pattern of this pizzagaina on my mind.
@@SipandFeast I really wanted to ask you if you knew the famous "Pastiera Napoletana", a typical Neapolitan Easter cake, from my region. But here, as I read, you have already given the answer. 👍😉 Ciao from Italy ! 👋 😊
This was a nice surprise :O) We had this on occasion at grandma's for Easter. It was OK, I doubt they made it, probably store bought. I was probably too full from the star attraction, my aunts homemade Manicotti she made with crepes. She made awesome crepes too, tender m-m-m. Soft ricotta filling, nice clean tomato sauce. One was enough, two was plenty, three or four was my belt loosening limit. But I always had room for her ricotta cheese cake, zwieback crumb crust, topped with cherry pie filling. Anyway, back to the Easter Pie. My wife has a friend in New Jersey that sometimes comes to visit. She works in a grocery store and brought an Easter Pie that they sell in the store. Tasted awesome, sort of looked like your filling but not tall or pretty like yours. Thanks for sharing this forgotten treat, lard would make it great, and I looked for basket cheese last night but the case was bare. You and the family have a great Easter!
Joe Duca- You just made me so hungry. I wish I could make crepes. I don't know if I'm using the pan/skillet; they never come out right. I also have an electric stove so I don't know if that's the problem.
I love using an adjustable pasta bicycle for pie lattice..Great video! Your pizza rustica looked better than the one I watched Giada make the other day.
OMG, just read your note and I'm so excited. You make the wheat berry pie! It's my favorite of the Easter desserts and not many people make it any more. I look forward to seeing that one on your website. How about chicala bread? Do you ever make that? Another favorite that's hard to find. Keep up the great work, your cooking brings back so many good memories!
The grain pie will be later today. The bread unfortunately will have to wait until next year. I am going to make so many desserts for Christmas time though. I'll probably be baking all summer long haha.
Thank You for Sharing this recipe! I am Italian, but I don’t ever remember my Grandmom making this! And I have been looking for a recipe to make this! I would just have to get some equipment to make this! Springform Pan, a better rolling pin, mine sucks, no matter how much I flour it, EVERYTHING sticks to it when rolling the dough out! And I seriously need a food processor! I love watching your channel and cooking videos, your recipes are easy to follow and make! Thank You for sharing this! Mangia! And I hope you and yours have a blessed Easter! 🐣 ✝️
I made your recipe today exactly as written - amazing results!! It was my first attempt and I had no problems thanks to your excellent instructions and tips. Thanks again and Buona Pasqua to you and your family.
Oh my word…..I’d use hot coppa in this beauty!!!!! Brings back great memories of a most incredible, fantastic Italian deli and foods in North Beach, San Francisco….Panelli Brothers !!!!! Truly incredible and they make whatever sandwich you want right there,,,,,makes you drool like a St Bernard lololol….5he smell when you walk in is just amazing.
Pizza Rustica is my favorite dish for Easter. I'm an RN and worked for an Italian doctor for years and years. His sweet wife made this for the Easter holiday and I was lucky enough to always be invited. Unfortunately I am Irish so we don't make this. Jim can I be an honorary Italian for the holidays and you make this for me? 😜 We always make either lamb or a spiral ham and a potato dish of course.
I made the pizza rustica. It looks amazing! Can't wait to taste it. I did make a little test version earlier in the week and it tastes pretty good. Thanks for sharing.
Your son is probably loving all this food. He looks about the age that I was were was eating my parents out of house and home. They couldn't keep up with my growth and appetite. I remember they made about 6 pounds of spaghetti one night for dinner and I ate 75% of of it. They were shocked and... I was still hungry.
So many fun 😊 things 'bout this post: A) Great looking 🥧 Pie & Recipe! B) Nice job on getting that crust-dough out of the tiny 8 cup Cuisinart..! Bigger is always better tho.. when it's TVs, Food processor...And Boats!!!! C) Your Wife's Grandma smiling down that you used her rolling dowel!! D) Egg on the Shirt..You never do it!!..(Don't tell James..he wont let you live it down!!E) James' Fade-A-Way high "Five..🖐️at the end!! Classic.... Seems like a great dish for company and entertaining!! Can't wait to make this.
Thanks for breaking it down! I agree. A much larger food processor would be better. This might become my backup, especially if I am going to start making more videos like this.
Nice, my family uses sausage, pepperoni & ham for meat. I usually eat so much easter pie that I get sick of it and don't want any for a whole year. My grandmother also made a Spaghetti pie & the grain pie. the spaghetti pie was a real peasant dish, it was like a spaghetti frattata, simple and awesome. BTW you can buy easter pie at uncle guisseppi for about $50 a pound. Until they run out.
Lol. $50 a pound is probably right. That place makes more money with the precooked food than the whole rest of the store. And I get the not wanting to eat it for a year. I probably ate almost over a pie's worth myself in the last few days.
This is an Italian favorite for me and my family. Truly a delicacy for us! Our family used to refer to this as Catzall (sp?). Anyway, something we always looked forward to at Easter!! Will truly be looking at all the recipes here! I'm reminded of the scene between the Godfather and Johnny Fontaine whereas the Godfather asks Johnny "do you spend time with your family?" The line should have been "do you cook for your family? Because any man that doesn't cook for his family can never be a real man!
My Father & my Nephew are the best cooks in the family. My Mom never let my Dad in the kitchen because he made a mess. I thought she was crazy because any Man who wants to cook for me has 'free reign' in my kitchen. I don't care if I have to clean the ceiling & the floor (see the scene from "Baby Boom" with Diane Keaton- spaghetti hanging from the ceiling- LOL).
Interesting an Italian Quiche'. I make a Quiche' almost every week, it's a great way to use up left overs, Nutmeg is a must when baking eggs. This looks AWESOME. I'll add this to my "Must Make List."
I make my Easter pizza with basket cheese, ham, and rice. Making Like a small calzone , put egg yoke on top of pocket when it comes out of oven. It's delicious
This came out excellent--and it was a beautiful presentation. I did have to cook it about 80 minutes. Next time, I'll use either percorino romano or provolone but not both. Another home run recipe. Thanks!
I had a bunch of requests for this one. This savory Italian Easter pie is typically served on Easter morning. The grain pie, Pastiera Napoletana, which is a dessert will be coming to my website in case you're wondering, but I won't be able to make a video for that one in time. Definitely next year.

@Dee Dee Thanks for recommending the channel. There are a bunch of cheese sellers on Amazon that sell Pecorino. So that is a good option.
Is that a 9" or 10" springform pan?
@@SipandFeast You're welcome. Thanks for the recommendation but I refuse to use Amazon until Jeff Bezos pays his employees enough salary so they don't need food stamps.
@smacktard Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it.

I feel like only true Italians like Mortadella. For whatever reason, that was always my go to choice when I went to Nonna's house. Keep it up!
I haven't eaten that in a long time. As a child my aunt and mom always made it for the day after Easter. Folks, you will not be disappointed with this dish. Thanx for the memories and Happy Easter to all. 🐇
The day after is a good idea! Thanks for liking the video.
The best part of this video is father and son eating together. So cute,

Gosh, I miss this so much. Not had it since my mother passed. May have to try it myself.
Thank you for adding the nutmeg. Nutmeg and mace are staples in my kitchen. Happy Easter!
Thanks. Happy Easter!
Thank You for Sharing this recipe! I am Italian, but I don’t ever remember my Grandmom making this! And I have been looking for a recipe to make this! I would just have to get some equipment to make this! Springform Pan, a better rolling pin, mine sucks, no matter how much I flour it, EVERYTHING sticks to it when rolling the dough out! And I seriously need a food processor! I love watching your channel and cooking videos, your recipes are easy to follow and make! Thank You for sharing this! Mangia! And I hope you and yours have a blessed Easter! 🐣 ✝️
Thanks so much! Happy Easter!
I have my own family recipe for the filling but I was looking for an easy pie crust and yours was easy and delicious! It's a keeper!!!
You make it all look easy and to say the least---TASTY !!!!
I made your recipe today exactly as written - amazing results!! It was my first attempt and I had no problems thanks to your excellent instructions and tips. Thanks again and Buona Pasqua to you and your family.
Thank you, and so happy you liked it! Hope you had a happy Easter!
Oh my word…..I’d use hot coppa in this beauty!!!!! Brings back great memories of a most incredible, fantastic Italian deli and foods in North Beach, San Francisco….Panelli Brothers !!!!! Truly incredible and they make whatever sandwich you want right there,,,,,makes you drool like a St Bernard lololol….5he smell when you walk in is just amazing.
Pizza Rustica is my favorite dish for Easter. I'm an RN and worked for an Italian doctor for years and years. His sweet wife made this for the Easter holiday and I was lucky enough to always be invited. Unfortunately I am Irish so we don't make this. Jim can I be an honorary Italian for the holidays and you make this for me? 😜 We always make either lamb or a spiral ham and a potato dish of course.
Ham or lamb both sound great!
Going to try my hand at this today. Thanks for sharing!
I truly love your channel!! Bravo!!🇮🇹🇺🇸
Thank you so much!
You did a great job with this Jim... I've never made it but you made it look so easy I think I will. Happy Easter to you and your wonderful family.
Thanks a lot, man! Happy Easter!
I made the pizza rustica. It looks amazing! Can't wait to taste it. I did make a little test version earlier in the week and it tastes pretty good. Thanks for sharing.
Your son is probably loving all this food. He looks about the age that I was were was eating my parents out of house and home. They couldn't keep up with my growth and appetite. I remember they made about 6 pounds of spaghetti one night for dinner and I ate 75% of of it. They were shocked and... I was still hungry.
This is beautiful! Happy Easter😊
So many fun 😊 things 'bout this post: A) Great looking 🥧 Pie & Recipe! B) Nice job on getting that crust-dough out of the tiny 8 cup Cuisinart..! Bigger is always better tho.. when it's TVs, Food processor...And Boats!!!! C) Your Wife's Grandma smiling down that you used her rolling dowel!! D) Egg on the Shirt..You never do it!!..(Don't tell James..he wont let you live it down!!E) James' Fade-A-Way high "Five..🖐️at the end!! Classic.... Seems like a great dish for company and entertaining!! Can't wait to make this.
Thanks for breaking it down! I agree. A much larger food processor would be better. This might become my backup, especially if I am going to start making more videos like this.
Oh damn a mid week upload. This looks real good
I just had to get this one up in time. Friday's video will be back to pasta haha.
Nice, my family uses sausage, pepperoni & ham for meat. I usually eat so much easter pie that I get sick of it and don't want any for a whole year. My grandmother also made a Spaghetti pie & the grain pie. the spaghetti pie was a real peasant dish, it was like a spaghetti frattata, simple and awesome. BTW you can buy easter pie at uncle guisseppi for about $50 a pound. Until they run out.
Lol. $50 a pound is probably right. That place makes more money with the precooked food than the whole rest of the store. And I get the not wanting to eat it for a year. I probably ate almost over a pie's worth myself in the last few days.
OMG i love him even more now - Raptors!!! Great pie, Jim!!
Lol. He has a lot of jerserys.
@@SipandFeast in my mind he is a diehard Raptors fan ... hahahaha
This looks amazing I really want to make this pie …. Your so talented thank you for sharing love all your food … so happy to have found your channel 💕
Thanks so much!
So helpful. Love the rolling pin. ;) Thank you!
This is an Italian favorite for me and my family. Truly a delicacy for us! Our family used to refer to this as Catzall (sp?). Anyway, something we always looked forward to at Easter!! Will truly be looking at all the recipes here! I'm reminded of the scene between the Godfather and Johnny Fontaine whereas the Godfather asks Johnny "do you spend time with your family?" The line should have been "do you cook for your family? Because any man that doesn't cook for his family can never be a real man!
My Father & my Nephew are the best cooks in the family. My Mom never let my Dad in the kitchen because he made a mess. I thought she was crazy because any Man who wants to cook for me has 'free reign' in my kitchen. I don't care if I have to clean the ceiling & the floor (see the scene from "Baby Boom" with Diane Keaton- spaghetti hanging from the ceiling- LOL).
I make this every Easter, but we call it Meat Pie. 😁 I may have to try it with nutmeg! Looks delicious…thanks for sharing! 😁
Looks awesome. My husband and I would NEVER be able to eat it all before it went bad. LOL.
It freezers very well. Thanks for liking the video!
My all time favorite! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, an extra recipe this week. Thanks.
Interesting an Italian Quiche'. I make a Quiche' almost every week, it's a great way to use up left overs, Nutmeg is a must when baking eggs. This looks AWESOME. I'll add this to my "Must Make List."
Thanks very much!
That was a most enjoyable video to watch! I’m looking forward to making & eating it!
Thank you very much. Hope you enjoy it!
9/10 for sure! That looks absolutely fantastic, I'm not the biggest on baking either but this is definitely something I will have to try!
Missed this one a few days ago. Great video.
Currently making it right now...tomorrow night is going to be awesome!
Thanks for the video
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!
I make my Easter pizza with basket cheese, ham, and rice. Making Like a small calzone , put egg yoke on top of pocket when it comes out of oven. It's delicious
This came out excellent--and it was a beautiful presentation. I did have to cook it about 80 minutes. Next time, I'll use either percorino romano or provolone but not both. Another home run recipe. Thanks!
