together to form a smooth, soft ball of dough. Divide the dough into two pieces, one
slightly larger than the other. Roll the larger piece out until it is large enough to line
the bottom of an 11-inch tart pan. Prick it with a fork all over, then roll out the second
piece of dough to approximately the same size as the first; it will be smaller but should
fit over the tart pan like a lid.
Distribute the ham evenly over the bottom layer of dough. Top with the mozzarella, then
add the beaten eggs, reserving a tablespoon or two for brushing the top of the pastry. Top
with Parmigiano-Reggiano and fit the "lid" over the top, sealing the edges all the way
around with finger pressure.
Brush the top with the reserved egg and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let
rest 10 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving like pizza.
