1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crust
3 eggs
1 cup cubed cooked ham
1 cup ricotta cheese or small-curd cottage cheese
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup (4 oz.) cubed provolone cheese or Swiss cheese
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley or 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
Beaten egg, if desired
Prepare pie crust according to package directions for TWO-CRUST PIE using 9- inch pie pan. Place oven rack at lowest position. Heat oven to 375°F.
In large bowl, slightly beat 3 eggs. Add ham, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese, parsley, oregano and pepper; blend well. Spoon filling mixture into crust-lined pan. Top with second crust; seal edges and flute. Cut slits in crust in several places. Brush beaten egg over crust. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375°F. on lowest oven rack for 50 to 60 minutes or until golden brown. Cover edge of crust with strips of foil after 15 to 20 minutes of baking if necessary to prevent excessive browning. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
