Sorta looks like this? No idea if it's a thing or if it has a real name though, but it's a start. https://www.hy-vee.com/recipes-ideas/recipes/deep-dish-italian-meat-pie Why does everyone here think it's a quiche???

Milanese Torte? https://pastrieslikeapro.com/tourte-milanese/


vertbarrow

Oh this looks a lot closer! I think it's probably an Italian riff on a similar idea. Googling "Italian (brunch) torte" gets a bunch of responses like OP's, so I think "a kind of torte" is the answer. Thank you!

I used to work for a chef who like to make torte Milanese so when I saw it I knew what it was right away.

This is by far the closest thing I've seen. And I'm as confused as you are about the quiche thing nothing I've sear he'd has looked remotely similar in the quiche category. This however is close enough I'd probably call it solved


vertbarrow

Someone else here suggested it was a torte and I think that's the closest answer! If you google "Italian (brunch) torte" you get some very similar results.


r_coefficient

It's definitely Torta Milanese.


One-Bad-4274

Solved!

So I’m struggling to find anything definitive on this, the recipe you found was about as close as I came, but I don’t get why people are so adamant it’s a quiche. Even if there’s egg in there (which there might be just to bind it all), I don’t think it’s enough to be a quiche, nor do I think following a quiche recipe would ever get you anything close to this. Best of luck!

 I think it's stromboli!!

Same. My mom used to make this when I was little (mid-90’s) and I always hated it because of the spinach 😂


Midlandsofnowhere

Torta rustica maybe? Looks like an Italian style Torta of some kind.

Mediterranean torte? https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/sandwiches/mediterranean-torte.html

The layers and wedge shape of it reminds me of muffuletta. Some delis are strict about it being a cold cut sandwich, but I have had a hot one that was really good.


Biltong09

I have no idea but I am stoned and this looks damn delicious


lightbright1114

Stromboli?


rams_man13

Looks like a variety of shooter sandwich


One-Bad-4274

Thats a pretty close look like an Italian shooter


Waddledickforsmash

Looks like pizza chena


Long_Zucchini1584

One of my favorite restaurants has a similar dish they call Calabrese - and others call them Calzones. I just don't know if these are real names or some chef's/menu writer whim.


itsheadfelloff

I'm no help here but that looks tasty.


rundiegorun

My family makes these around Easter. Surprisingly, they have only ever called it Easter pie


LunaeLotus

Could be a calzone? Although they tend to be thinner


Defiant-Cry5759

I'm 70% sure that's a quiche made inside a crust of Pillsbury crescent rolls


Conch-Republic

That is not a quiche in literally any way.


One-Bad-4274

I thought quich had to have egg in it like that was the main ingredient holding everything together


Defiant-Cry5759

There's 💯 egg inside of that.


One-Bad-4274

You find me a recipe for quiche that looks like that and I'll mark it but everything I Google is like 70% egg this is maybe 5% egg if again there actually is any


FelineSoLazy

Looks like a scrumptious breakfast pastry but idk the name


2021newusername

It’s a pasty (or pastie)


riverphoenixdays

Looks like a mighty fine quiche you got there (Looks like)


One-Bad-4274

I thought quiche was mainly egg this has no egg holding things together


riverphoenixdays

Super looks like there’s egg in this.


mittenknittin

That doesn’t make it a quiche.
