If you like savory breads or stuffed pastries, imagine a rich bread ring packed with pork, cheese, and eggs baked right into the crust.
Zen's note
Casatiello is Napoli’s ultimate Easter bread, but locals eat it year-round. It’s dense, rich, and deeply savory. One slice is a meal. The whole eggs on top are tradition — and yes, you eat them.
