What it is

A rich savory bread stuffed with salami, cicoli (pork cracklings), pecorino, and provolone, with whole eggs baked into the crust.

Taste translation

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.
