Despite the name tease, this was really delicious. The crust rolled out like a dream, and while not flaky after all that beating, it was perfect. The filling of eggs, ricotta, and prosciutto was just right. And it was fun to do a diagonal lattice that wasn't woven but looked quite pretty.
I made this exactly according to the recipe in Baking with Julia but I can easily imagine variations: mushrooms, bacon, spinach would all be good.
We ate it warm and then had it cold the next day. They were equally yummy! My husband has mentioned about 5 times that I can make it again any time and I'm sure that I will.
I too admit to "momentary disappointment," but quickly recovered once I tried it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was a hit!
ReplyDeleteGlad it turned out a winner despite not really being pizza
ReplyDeleteThis is a recipe that just begs variations, isn't it! Glad the hubby liked it... it always nice when the Other Half takes a liking to a recipe :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think more than one of us were expecting something different based on the title :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad it was a hit for you
blech, we didnt like it cold but piping hot it was pretty nice, although a bit bland for what we were expecting. We are going to vary the fillings next time! :)

My husband also went a bit gaga over this one. I'll definitely be making it again. Your pizza rustica looks beautiful!
