Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 dozen eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (I used almond milk)
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound ricotta cheese
  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella
  • 5 ounces pepperoni chopped up in little pieces, just over 1 cup
  • 2 cups ham or smoked shoulder (cut up into little chunks)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven 350 F
  • Liberally grease an 8 x 8 inch baking dish and line it with wax paper or parchment paper and grease that liberally as well
  • In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs, add milk and pepper and whisk until combined
  • Add ricotta cheese, mozzarella and meats and stir with a spatula until combined
  • Pour into greased, lined baking dish, (it will be full) and carefully place in the oven for 1 hour and 5 minutes
  • Test pizza gana with a butter knife - it should come out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting the pizza gana out by the paper
  • Peel paper away from pizza gana, it is okay if the sides come off with the paper, it will just be a thin layer
  • Slice in squares
  • Plate
  • Eat
  • Enjoy
