Ferragosto is just around the corner, and there’s nothing better than celebrating this day with excellent food to share with friends and family. That’s why we’ve come up with a special recipe that will earn you plenty of compliments while being simple and quick to prepare: a savory fig and ricotta tart.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 250 g of ricotta
- 120 g of bacon
- 1 egg
- 300 g of ripe figs
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a large bowl, mix ricotta, egg, 70g of bacon, a pinch of salt, and a bit of pepper.
Roll out the puff pastry in a baking dish lined with parchment paper and prick it with the tines of a fork. Create a border by folding the puff pastry all around.
Pour the ricotta mixture onto the puff pastry and then bake everything in a fan oven at 180°C for 20 minutes.
In the meantime, wash the figs and slice them.
After the baking time, remove the tart from the oven and add the remaining bacon and figs on top.
Finish baking in the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
If you like, serve the tart with a drizzle of honey on top or as a side sauce.
