Savory Chard & Prosciutto Tart
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup butter cut into pieces
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups greens cooked, drained and squeezed dry, chard, spinach, escarole, etc.
- 1 cup sheep
- ricotta cheese
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 handful Parmesan
- 3 slices prosciutto chopped
- salt
- pepper
- 1 egg separated
- Cook your greens in boiling, salted water depending on the toughness (spinach may only need 20-30 seconds, chard needs 3-4 minutes).
- Drain and squeeze as much liquid as you can out of the greens.
- Combine the greens in a bowl with the ricotta, parmesan, lemon, prosciutto, salt & pepper. Taste & check your seasonings.
- To Assemble the Tart:
- Preheat oven to 350 F/ 185 C
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and split in half.
- Roll out dough to 1/4 inch or 1/2 cm thickness and line the bottom of a tart or pie pan. (We use 9-inch or 25 cm but you can make individual tarts as well.)
- Once pastry is lined in pan, brush with egg white then fill with a generous amount of the chard mixture (filling in evenly).
- Top with the other half of the dough, rolled out to the same thickness. Pinch the edges, closing the tart securely.
- Brush the top with egg yolk. Cut 2-3 slits to allow the steam to escape.
- Place in oven, bake 45 minutes - 1 hour until pastry is golden brown & filling is bubbly. Serve warm or room temperature.
