Around the world, Easter traditions abound. While there are some cross-culture commonalities — eggs, ham, and lamb are staples — countries have their own unique traditions too. In England, families eat hot cross buns while in Greece, traditional Easter soup combines lamb with vegetables.
For many Italians and Italian-Americans, Easter pizza is an essential part of the holiday festivities. Thick, rich, and typically covered with a top crust, Easter pizza looks nothing like the pizzas most Americans are used to. It's closer to a quiche — but instead of vegetables and tomato sauce, the pie consists of egg, cheese, and cured meats.
