Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed - 7.8 tbsp
1 tablespoon olive oil - 6.6 whole
2 cloves garlic, minced - 7.5 jar
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced - 8.0 bottle
5 ounces fresh spinach - 9.4 g
1 cup ricotta cheese - 4.9 pinch
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 8.2 qt
2 large eggs - 3.7 quarter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme - 0.9 ml
Pinch of nutmeg - 9.7 box

Cooking Steps

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and browned, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, chopped fresh thyme, and nutmeg. Mix well.

Step 6

Stir the mushroom and spinach mixture into the ricotta cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 7

Unfold the puff pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the mushroom and ricotta mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.

Step 8

Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the filling, creating a crust. Brush the crust with the beaten egg.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.

Step 10

Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.

Great recipe! The tart was delicious and looked beautiful. I had some trouble with the pastry, but I think that was my fault. Next time, I'll make sure the oven is preheated properly.

Loved this recipe. It's a great vegetarian option, and it's not too difficult to make. I would suggest adding some red pepper flakes for a little kick. The presentation is beautiful.

Mia Harris5

Wow! This tart is fantastic. I made it for a brunch, and everyone raved about it. The texture and taste were incredible. I added a pinch of nutmeg to the ricotta filling, and it enhanced the flavors beautifully.

Jack Thomas5

This is going to be a staple in my house from now on. The flavors are amazing, and the recipe is easy to follow. The puff pastry was perfect. I used a mix of mushrooms, and it added even more depth of flavor.

I found this a bit disappointing. The filling was a bit watery, and the pastry got soggy. Perhaps the spinach wasn't drained properly. The flavor was alright, but the texture was off.
