1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves

SPINACH AND RICOTTA TART

Rich and scrumptious, this is a great brunch dish as well as any other meal! Fairly simple to make. I prefer chopped FRESH spinach but I am posting this recipe as it was given to me. Also, I add feta or Montrachet cheese sometimes if I have it on hand.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach
1 small onion, minced
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 dash black pepper
1 (15 ounce) carton ricotta cheese
1 cup light cream
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
3 eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prick pie shell (9" pie pan) and prebake in hot oven for 5-8 minutes until lightly browned. Turn oven down to 350 degrees when pie crust is done.
  • Cook spinach until thawed and warm. Drain very well, squeezing excess moisture out with hands. (Do not precook spinach if using fresh).
  • Saute onion in butter and stir in spinach, salt, nutmeg and black pepper.
  • In separate bowl, combine Ricotta cheese, cream Parmesan cheese and eggs and blend well.
  • Add spinach mixture and stir well.
  • Pour into prebaked pie shell and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until custard is set.
  • Garnish with finely chopped parsley and sliced cherry tomatoes if desired.
  • May be served hot or room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh spinach and ricotta cheese will give your tart the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Wilted spinach is fine, but overcooked spinach will be mushy.
  • Use a good quality puff pastry. This will make your tart light and flaky.
  • Don't overcrowd the tart pan. Leave some space between the spinach and ricotta mixture and the edges of the pan so that the crust can puff up.
  • Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set.

Conclusion:

This baked spinach ricotta tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover spinach and ricotta cheese, and it's also a healthy and satisfying meal. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give this spinach ricotta tart a try. You won't be disappointed!
