Vegetable Rose Tart

Course Main Dishes

Equipment

  • Quiche pan
  • Peeler

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 12 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 oz grated parmesan
  • 5 oz grated mozzarella
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 3 carrots
  • 1 green zucchini
  • 1 yellow zucchini
  • 1 eggplant
  • 2 tsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Use a bit of butter to grease a round baking dish, preferably a quiche pan, and place the puff pastry into the dish. Press your pastry well onto the bottom and the edges of the pan, and cut away any excess.
  • Cut a piece of baking paper so that it fits on top of the pastry. Then place a pot on top of the baking paper. Using this "blind-baking" technique, bake the pastry in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes. As soon as the pastry has cooled, remove the baking paper and pot.
  • Now mix the eggs, ricotta, salt, nutmeg, oregano, parmesan, and mozzarella in a bowl. Once mixed, distribute evenly on your prebaked puff pastry.
  • Using a peeler, cut your washed vegetables into thin slices. The sharper the peeler, the better the outcome. If your peeler is dull, you now have a great reason to invest in a new one!
  • Now roll the vegetable slices together so that they look like little roses, and tightly arrange them on the cheese mixture. Tip: If your carrots are not easy to roll, place them in the microwave for two minutes.
  • Finally, coat the roses with olive oil, and bake the tart for 20 minutes at 350°F.
