Preparation of the savory pie with bacon and cheeses
In the bowl, pour the ricotta, eggs, diced bacon, small pieces of scamorza, hand-torn basil, and salt, mixing with a spoon until obtaining a homogeneous and creamy mixture.
Unroll the puff pastry and spread it in a non-stick pie mold, prick the bottom with a fork, and pour all the filling inside, leveling it with the spoon, slightly folding the edges over themselves.
Preheat the oven to 428°F (220°C) and once hot, bake and cook for 40/45 minutes until the edges are well golden. Once cooked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before taking it out of the mold.
Once the savory pie with bacon and cheeses is cold, remove it from the mold, place it on a serving plate, garnish with fresh basil, and serve! Enjoy your meal!
