Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 whole Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces Pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and whole milk until well combined.
Add the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes to the egg mixture. Stir until evenly mixed.
Layer half of the pepperoni slices on the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pepperoni slices.
Top with the remaining pepperoni slices in an even layer.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
