Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 2 ½ cups (250g) all-purpose wheat flour

  • 9 tablespoons (200g) mayonnaise

For the Filling:

  • 2 calabrese sausages (approx. 400g), grated or finely chopped

  • 1 can (170g) sweet corn, drained

  • 2 medium tomatoes (approx. 150g), chopped and seeded

  • Chopped olives to taste (green or black, about ¼ cup is perfect)

For the Topping:

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 ½ boxes (300g) table cream or heavy cream

  • 100g mozzarella cheese, grated or chopped


‍ Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, add the flour and mayonnaise.

  2. Mix with a spoon until a crumbly dough starts to form.

  3. Switch to using your hands and knead gently until the dough is smooth and cohesive. It should not stick to your hands.

  4. Lightly grease a round springform pan (24 cm diameter, 6 cm high) with butter, margarine, or a neutral oil.

  5. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan to form the crust. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to make it even.

2. Prepare the Filling

  1. In another bowl, combine the grated or chopped calabrese sausage, corn, tomatoes, and olives.

  2. Mix well to distribute all ingredients evenly.

  3. Spread this filling over the dough base in the pan.

3. Make the Creamy Topping

  1. In a clean bowl, crack the eggs and beat lightly with a fork or whisk.

  2. Add the cream and mix until smooth and fully combined.

  3. Pour this mixture evenly over the filling in the pan.

4. Add the Cheese and Bake

  1. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly on top.

  2. Place the pie in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F).

  3. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.

  4. The center should not jiggle much and the edges will be slightly puffed.


⏳ Cooling and Serving

  • Remove from oven and let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing or unmolding.

  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

  • Ideal with a fresh green salad or some crusty garlic bread.


Filling Variations

Feel free to customize the pie based on what you have on hand:

Swap With
Calabrese sausage Shredded chicken, ground beef, or tuna
Mozzarella Cheddar, provolone, or a cheese blend
Veggies Bell peppers, grated zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms
Cream Greek yogurt or crème fraîche (for a tangier touch)

❄️ Storage Tips

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

  • Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

  • Not recommended for freezing due to the creamy topping.


Helpful Tips

  • No mixer needed – everything can be done by hand.

  • Pan substitute: If you don’t have a springform pan, use a deep pie dish or cake pan.

  • Don’t overbake – remove once the topping is set and golden to keep it moist inside.
