Simple recipe - Easter Pie
Now, the name of this has nothing to do with the actual di****'s not for Easter, and it's not pie. This recipe came from a man who conducts bariatric cooking classes in Huntsville AL. He and his wife are both post RNY (about 4 years out) and he is a caterer by profession.
I met them at a support group in FL - so this comes to you in PA from the Michigan girl who is in FL and got this Alabama recipe!
Anyway, it's (1) simple, (2) looks like cornbread when you make it, and (3) smells like Greek "OPA" flaming cheese. Very rich so a little goes a long way, but good protein content here for a side dish!
Easter Pie
1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
1 15 oz. container ricotta cheese
2 8 oz. bags shredded mozzarella cheese
4 eggs
Mix all ingredients together in mixing bowl. Pour into 8 inch square baking dish sprayed with Pam.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
Cool slightly before cutting into squares - I made 12 squares but you could easily go with 16 from an 8" pan.

This recipe was made in my family by my Great Aunt every year at easter time, she called it Pizza Rustica, and she made it in a pie crust and it usually had priscioutto (Italian cured ham) or pepperoni in it. Many years ago, in part because the crust was a pain to make and in part because the crust was so fattening, I started making it in a non-stick pan and it is a recipe I have used a lot since weightloss as it is easy to make and chock full of protein, add fresh spinach, garlic pepper grinder and/or anything you like to make it your own speciality. . .
