Instructions
Instructions puff pastry zucchini lattice tart
- Place a soft ricotta cheese in a bowl. Whip it with an electric whisk or a hand whisk for a couple of minutes. It should become very creamy and light.
- Now add salt and pepper ti taste. Add extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and minced small clove of garlic. Mix well and add the walnuts and coarsely chopped basil leaves and one egg.
- I recommend taking your puff pastry from the refrigerator at least 10 minutes before to make it less cold. This way it is easier to handle and does not shrink during baking.
- Open the puff pastry and roll it out on a large baking sheet or rectangular pan covered with baking paper. With a fork, mark a smaller rectangle on the pastry. Fill that rectangle with the prepared cream.
- Meanwhile, peel the zucchini and divide them into long, thin strips using a potato peeler and a mandolin cutter (watch out for your fingers;)). On the surface create a latticed pattern. It is the same method we use to create interwined pastry strips on pies. You just need to overlap strips to form a lattice.

Zucchini and ricotta, savory pie – baking time
- Now fold the edges of the puff pastry on top of the zucchini with the ricotta and add a drizzle of oil on the surface. If you like, brush the puff pastry with a some milk to make it more shiny and golden after baking. If you like savory pies with crunchy topping, you can add ingredients such as breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan onto the surface.
- Bake in a preheated static oven at 180 ° C for about 25 – 30 minutes.
