Pastry Crust<\/span><\/p>\n

3<\/span>cups all-purpose flour plus additional for dusting
\n1<\/span>tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
\n2<\/span>teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
\n1\/2<\/span>cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
\n2<\/span>large eggs\n<\/div>\n

Pie Filling<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Nonstick cooking spray
\n2<\/span>teaspoons olive oil
\n1<\/span>medium yellow onion, chopped
\n1<\/span>package (16 ounces) sweet Italian sausage, crumbled
\n6<\/span>large eggs
\n1<\/span>container (16 ounces) whole milk ricotta cheese
\n8<\/span>ounces fontina cheese, shredded
\n1<\/span>cup drained roasted red peppers, patted dry
\n1<\/span>cup chopped kale
\n1\/2<\/span>pound thinly sliced Italian cured meats such as hot capicola, prosciutto, salami and\/or soppressata\n<\/div>\n

1.<\/span>Prepare Pastry Crust: In food processor with knife blade attached, pulse flour, oregano and pepper until combined. Scatter butter over flour mixture; pulse until butter is cut into the flour and it resembles pea-sized crumbs. Add eggs and pulse to combine; add 1\/2 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition until mixture holds together. Transfer dough to work surface; knead 5 minutes and shape into 2 equal-sized disks. Wrap disks with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 1 day ahead.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span>Prepare Pie Filling: Adjust oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 375\u00b0. Spray 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat; add onion and cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add sausage; cook 8 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Transfer sausage and onion to plate; cool completely.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/span>In large bowl, whisk eggs; reserve 1 tablespoon egg. Stir in ricotta cheese, fontina cheese, red peppers, kale and onion mixture.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4.<\/span>Lightly dust work surface and rolling pin with flour. Unwrap 1 dough disk; roll into 16-inch circle. Leaving 1-inch overhang, gently press dough onto bottom and sides of pan. Layer half the sliced meats in bottom of pan over dough; add egg-mixture, then layer remaining sliced meats over top.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5.<\/span>Roll out remaining dough disk into 12-inch circle; carefully place over filling. With scissors, leaving a 3\/4-inch overhang, trim edges of dough. Fold excess top crust under bottom crust and flute to seal. Brush top of pie with reserved 1 tablespoon egg; with paring knife, cut 4 (1-inch) vents in top crust.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6.<\/span>Bake pie 1 hour or until crust is golden brown. Reduce oven temperature to 300\u00b0; tent pie with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160\u00b0. Cool pie completely on wire rack; remove springform pan and refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
