Prepare the Cheese Mixture

  • In a large mixer bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella (reserving 2 tbsp for later), and oregano. Set aside.

Cook the Sausage and Vegetables

  • Cut the Italian sausage into pieces. Brown in a skillet until nearly cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks. Add onions, sweet peppers, and black olives. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Combine and Fill

  • Fold the meat mixture into the cheese mixture. Add cherry tomatoes and mix gently.

Assemble the Pot Pie

  • Roll out half of the pie dough on a floured surface and place it in a 9” cast iron pan. Spoon in the filling and top with half of the pepperoni slices.

Add the Top Crust

  • Roll out the remaining pie dough for the top crust. Place it over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Make a few slits in the crust to allow steam to escape. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with oregano.

Bake

  • Arrange the remaining pepperoni slices on top of the crust, avoiding the slits. Sprinkle with reserved mozzarella.
  • Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.

Serve

  • Allow the pot pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
