Thanks for the fine recipe. I also have been making Easter Pie for more years then I want to remember. I being one of six boys (no sisters) have been carrying on the family tradition that my mother started when we were young children.
Since I don't like hard-boiled eggs I add dried Italian sausage and some pepperoni. I use sweeter dough because I also make my grandchildren Easter Egg Baskets. I place the dough in a muffin pan and inserting a colored Easter egg. I roll thin strips of dough and then braid the dough and ring it around the egg, I place a piece of the braided dough over the egg and tuck it under the ring braid to make a handle.
After the baskets bake and cool I glaze the outside and add colorful nonpareils.
My grandchildren get a nice treat for Easter Morning Breakfast.
Happy Easter – Buona Pasqua to All

That sounds so lovely and festive - I bet your grandchildren are thrilled to see what color egg they get. Thanks so much for sharing here - I'm definitely going to try that sometime (maybe when I have grandkids!) PJH
