The Crust is Key
No meat pie is complete without a flaky and buttery crust, and Giada's recipe delivers just that.

It's these little touches that make all the difference in the end result.
Make it Your Own
While Giada's Easter meat pie recipe is already a winner, you can always put your own spin on it to make it even more delicious. Try adding some chopped vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini to the filling for extra flavor and texture. You could also experiment with different types of cheese, such as gruyere or fontina, to add a unique twist. Get creative and make this recipe your own.
So there you have it, Giada De Laurentiis' Easter meat pie recipe that is sure to impress. With its flavorful filling and flaky crust, it's the perfect dish to share with your loved ones this Easter. Buon appetito!
