Ingredients
Scale
- 1 rotolo di pasta sfoglia
- 3 zucchine genovesi
- 100 g di salmone affumicato
- 150 g di mozzarella
- 100 g di ricotta
- 2 uova
- 2 cucchiai di grana padano
- 2 cucchiai di olio extravergine d'oliva
- 1 spicchio di aglio
- q.b di sale
- q.b di pepe
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). This ensures the puff pastry will rise beautifully and become golden brown.
- Roll out the puff pastry to fit your tart pan, leaving some overhang. Gently press it into the edges and trim off any excess.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Slice the zucchinis thinly and add them to the skillet. Cook them for 5-7 minutes until they soften slightly and become translucent.
- While the zucchinis are cooking, whisk together the eggs, ricotta, and grana padano in a bowl until smooth.
- Once the zucchinis are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Add the cooled zucchinis to the egg and cheese mixture, then fold in the smoked salmon and cubed mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pastry shell, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is just set in the center.
- Let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
