Let’s be honest: eating vegetables can be a chore. Many of us try our best to stick to a healthy diet, but somehow, it always seems like a mammoth task. Now you can put your vegetable woes to bed with this recipe! Let us introduce a vegetable tart so beautiful, you will not be able to refuse it!
Vegetable Rose Tart
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.
