P.J., i made this pie today to the guests of the Hotel - Resort ( www.bomtemporesort.com.br ) i´m working as head baker, and absolutely, they love a lot. The pie turns great with shiny and crispy crust and the fill was good, specially with the add of grated parmesan cheese. Here in my city those kind of pies are common with different kind of fillings, specially because we have great Italian settler here. Here in Brazil we have an entire year dedicated to Italian immigrants in a year named ´Year of Italian in Brazil `. At the end of the year in November, we will have local Gourmet Festival, focused in Italian Gastronomy. Then, i´ll be there as a talker and to teach audience how to bake Italian breads and pies and certainly this pie in particular will be one of my inspirations!
