Italian Cheese Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 lb extra-sharp provolone cheese, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
    1/2 lb sharp provolone cheese, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
    1/4 lb genoa salami, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
    1/4 lb boiled ham, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
    2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
    1 (32 ounce) container ricotta cheese
    1/2 lb locatelli romano cheese or 1/2 lb pecorino cheese, grated
    3 eggs
    2 (9 inch) frozen deep dish pie shells
Preparation
    In a very large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except crusts.
    Mix well, making sure that all ingredients are distributed through the ricotta mixture evenly.
    Spoon the ingredients equally into the pie crusts.
    For a more decorative look, apply strips of pie crust to the top of the pie in a basketweave pattern.
    Bake at 350 degrees until the top of the pie is a dark golden brown and the center is set, approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes.
    Allow pies to cool for about 45 minutes before slicing.
    Serve warm or cold.
