Ingredients

2 pounds ricotta cheese
6 large eggs
1 pound cooked ham, chopped
0.5 pound Genoa salami, chopped
0.5 pound mozzarella cheese, grated
0.25 pound prosciutto, chopped
4 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts
0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
In a large mixing bowl, place the ricotta cheese. Using an electric mixer on low speed, beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the ham, salami, mozzarella, and prosciutto until everything is well combined.
Line two 9-inch pie pans with pie crusts, covering the bottom and sides. Divide the ricotta mixture evenly between the pans. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each pie, then cover the filling with the remaining pie crusts. Crimp the edges to seal and cut a few slits in the top crusts to allow steam to vent.
Bake in the preheated oven until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown, approximately 1 hour. Let the pies cool on wire racks before serving.
