Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Spread half of the marinara mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top of the marinara layer.

Step 7

Layer the sliced hot dogs evenly over the cheese mixture.

Step 8

Add the remaining marinara mixture over the hot dog layer, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Top with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Step 10

In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 11

Brush the edges of the pie crust lightly with the egg wash to give it a golden, shiny finish after baking.

Step 12

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
