I wanted to make a bigger tart than original one in recipes + and I couldn't be bothered making my own pastry so this is my recipe:
- 1 1/2 sheets puff pastry
- 250g tub ricotta cheese
- 250g tub flavoured cottage cheese
- 5 eggs
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tbs capsicum & eggplant stir through pasta sauce (pesto would be better)
- 6 button mushrooms
- handful of spinach
- range of tomatoes (I used cherry, roma and some of my grandma's tomatoes)
- Preheat oven to 160 and place tart pan in there to warm up.
- When pan is warmed up, lay in the pastry and return to oven for approx 10mins. (I did this because I usually find the base of puff pastry just goes soggy, rather than crisping up. Cooking it a little in the pre-warmed pan seemed to work.)
- Saut'e mushrooms and wilt spinach.
- In a bowl whisk ricotta, cottage cheese and eggs. Add parmesan and pesto.
- Chop tomatoes.
Remove tart base from oven and line bottom with mushrooms and spinach. - Pour egg and cheese mixture into base and arrange tomatoes on top.
- Place in the oven and bake until set. (I wasn't really paying attention to the cooking time but I think it was between 30 and 45 minutes.)
It didn't look too pretty once it was served up but straight out of the oven I thought it looked appealing, quite rustic.
