The author calls for a 10" pie pan in the headnote.

If you use a 7" springform you will have leftover dough and filling. In fact, the volume of the 7" springform pan is half of the 10" springform (assuming the same pie height).

Personally I would make a half recipe and use the 7" springform. The author acknowledges that it is really rich and when an American recipe author says that, it's a gutbuster.

A 10" savory pie cut in 6 slices is a monstrous portion. At my dinner table, I would definitely go for a smaller serving.

well, I am serving 3 teenaged boys....However, I may just make up the filling and look at the volume it makes and decide which pan to use. I'll keep you posted.

Now that you commented on your dinner table guests (which is VERY relevant), go ahead and make the full recipe.

Assuming they like it, any leftovers will be demolished in a day.

The smaller pans would probably work better so that you have enough dough to come up the sides.
