Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package store-bought pie crust
- 4 pieces hot dogs
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the store-bought pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess dough from the edges.
Slice the hot dogs into thin rounds and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the marinara sauce, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Spread half of the marinara mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top of the marinara layer.
Layer the sliced hot dogs evenly over the cheese mixture.
Add the remaining marinara mixture over the hot dog layer, spreading it evenly.
Top with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of the pie crust lightly with the egg wash to give it a golden, shiny finish after baking.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Pie a La Italiana!
