Ingredients

• 1 unit pre-made pie crust
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1.5 cups pepperoni slices
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming or crimping the edges as needed.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Spread an even layer of the ricotta mixture on the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ricotta mixture.

Step 6

Arrange half of the pepperoni slices on top of the mozzarella layer, slightly overlapping them.

Step 7

Repeat the layers: Spread the remaining ricotta mixture, add the remaining mozzarella cheese, and top with the remaining pepperoni slices.

Step 8

Brush the exposed edges of the pie crust with melted butter for a golden, flaky finish.

Step 9

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is set, the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 10

Let the Pepperoni Cheese Pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
