Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it firmly against the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated parmesan. Stir until smooth and well-mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into the cheese mixture and stir until fully combined.
Pour the cheese filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie dish on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is a light golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
Serve warm as a main dish or allow it to rest for longer to firm up if serving as an appetizer or side.
