Today is the making of Nonna's Easter Meat pie. She made it every single year and it was the best!
The ingredients:
The meats are ham, Genoa salami, and for the first time ever - Sopressata salami. The cheeses are Provolone and basket cheese.
Yes, basket cheese is really inside a plastic basket~
You didn't think that I'd get a pass this year from wearing bunny ears, did you?!
The ears are worth it. I got to sample the basket cheese.
I got to sample the ricotta cheese. Mom wouldn't let me have any meat. She said it was too spicy and salty for me.
The pie is ready for the top crust - yup, cheater pie crusts. Nonna NEVER did that!
I talked mom into an Airedale and bone top crust! Now the pie is perfect!
The pie is out of the oven and we can't wait to taste it!
On a very sad note. My sissy said good-by to her bestest friend yesterday. She will be here tomorrow for Good Friday and we will give her huge hugs♥
Love ya lots♥
The loss of a friend is so difficult to deal with...my sympathies.
