Ingredients
- 2 rolls of puff pastry, approx. 275 g each
- 700 g fresh leaf spinach
- 250g ricotta
- 1 onion (120 g)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 20 ml oil
- 4 eggs (M) for insert
- 1 egg for painting
- 50 g grated Parmesan
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Wash the spinach thoroughly, let it collapse briefly and squeeze it out very well; chop roughly.
- Sauté onion and garlic in oil until translucent. Mix with spinach, ricotta, parmesan and nutmeg, season generously and allow to cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 190 °C top/bottom heat. Line a greased pie or springform pan (approx. 24 cm) with a roll of puff pastry and prick the bottom with a fork.
- Pour in the spinach mixture, form four small wells and carefully add an egg into each. Cover with second sheet of dough and seal edges tightly; poke a small steam hole.
- Brush with beaten egg and bake for 40-45 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the eggs are completely set inside. Let rest for 15 minutes.
Tips
- Carefully squeezed spinach prevents soggy soil.
- Food Safety: The whole eggs in the filling must be safely cooked.
- Technique: Germany: Ready-made butter puff pastry is a viable substitute for homemade pie dough and is specifically a home version.
