the quick savory parmesan pie, is the perfect solution if you want to make something tasty but don’t have much time to devote to a leavened dough like the Easter cheese pie
It’s perfect to enjoy as a quick Easter appetizer accompanied by cold cuts or to put in the Easter Monday picnic basket just like the savory cheese ring cake.
It’s a dough made with few and simple ingredients and, thanks to the instant yeast, it will be ready to bake in a moment and the parmesan gives it a fantastic flavor that always wins everyone over and you can enrich it with cold cuts and vegetables just like the quick cheese braid with olives
However, if you want to dedicate yourself to a leavened dough, I recommend the cheese pie or the quick version of the Umbrian cheese crescia but I am sure you will like this savory pie because it is made with simple ingredients you have at home, it is ready in a moment and is perfect to enjoy both hot and cold.
At this point, all you have to do is try it, prepare it in advance, fill it, and take it with you anywhere. Let’s see together all the steps and what we need to prepare it.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs with the oil and start beating, gradually add the milk, salt, and parmesan, and finally add the sifted flour with the yeast.
BAKING THE PIE: Transfer everything to a cake pan of about 8 inches lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, but adjust according to your oven and do the toothpick test — it should come out dry. Remove from the oven and let it cool before filling it
