Simple savory pie Savory pie with radicchio and forest honey

We can say that this simple savory pie is the Italian and, in fact, simplified version of the famous Quiche Lorraine.

Like the most famous Lorraine dish, this cake also consists of a fragrant shell of pasta brisee which welcomes inside, just like the French original, a tasty mix of eggs and cream. In this made in Italy version, however, instead of Emmentaler and pancetta, mixed withappearsil (this is the name of the egg and cream mixture) we find two excellences of our table: the mozzarella cheese and the baked ham.

It is a very easy recipe to make especially if, as in this case, you start from a ready-made base. But, if you have the time and desire to experiment, you can test yourself with this preparation, starting with the classic shortcrust pastry, or the lighter shortcrust pastry without butter, and then have fun making one of the many quick and easy quiche recipes on the site.
