Savory Ricotta Tart Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Global Kitchen. (Savory Ricotta Tart Recipe). I love the simple combination of really good ricotta and fresh herbs, baked with just enough eggs to hold things together. I was in the mood for some heat but things like pepper and cayenne are totally optional.

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Brush the bottom of a springform pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Step 2

Cook and stir bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon olive oil together in a skillet over medium heat until breadcrumbs are light golden 1 to 2 minutes. Stir 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into breadcrumbs; cook and stir until golden brown and toasted about 1 minute more. Spread breadcrumbs out into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.

Step 3

Beat eggs in a bowl with a whisk until pale yellow thick and frothy. Add basil parsley salt black pepper cayenne pepper and nutmeg; stir to combine.

Step 4

Whisk ricotta cheese and 1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into egg mixture. Drop cheese mixture by spoonfuls into the prepared springform pan and spread it evenly over breadcrumbs. Gently tap the pan against a work surface to settle the cheese layer. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until set 20 to 25 minutes. Run a paring knife around the side to release tart from springform pan. Cool in the pan until cool enough to handle; remove springform pan ring.

Step 6

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.

Step 7

Place tart on prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated broiler until golden brown 2 to 3 minutes.
