Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
-
Lay one pie crust in the prepared pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides of the dish. Trim any excess hanging over the edges.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, red bell pepper, and fresh parsley. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined.
-
Pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese filling, stirring gently to coat all the ingredients.
-
Carefully pour the filling into the prepared pie crust in the pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Cover the pie with the second pie crust, crimping the edges to seal the pie.
-
Using a sharp knife, make a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
-
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
-
Remove the Easter Ham Pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
