FETA-AND-HERB PHYLLO TART



Feta-and-Herb Phyllo Tart image

Kathy Tsaples, the author of the cookbook "Sweet Greek Life: My Shared Table," inspired this savory tart. The quality of phyllo dough varies hugely from one brand to another. It's particularly important here to get a good-quality phyllo as there is so much of it. This is a sort of quiche with a twist, with the phyllo both acting as a casing and adding the extra crispness you get from blind baking. It's a meal in itself, served with a simple salad. If you don't have a tart pan handy, use a 9-inch cake pan.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 sheets of thin 16-by-12-inch/40-by-30-centimeter phyllo pastry (about 200 grams)
3 tablespoons/45 grams unsalted butter, melted
1 scant cup/100 grams finely crumbled feta (3 1/2 ounces/100 grams)
2 lightly packed cups/50 grams finely grated pecorino Romano (1 1/2 ounces/45 grams)
2 tablespoons/5 grams roughly chopped parsley
2 tablespoons/5 grams roughly chopped tarragon leaves
2 tablespoons/5 grams roughly chopped mint leaves
4 eggs
3/4 cup/180 milliliters heavy cream (double cream)
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/200 degrees Celsius.
  • Brush one of the phyllo sheets lightly with melted butter and place, butter side-up, in a 9-inch/25-centimeter round tart pan. Press the pastry into the corners and then brush another sheet of phyllo in the same way, pressing it into the pan at a 45-degree angle to the first sheet. Continue twice more (using 4 sheets total), covering the base and sides of the pan with a uniformly thick layer of phyllo. Trim the overhanging pastry, but not completely, leaving 1/2-inch/1 centimeter of phyllo over the edges of the tart. Set both the pan and pastry scraps aside.
  • Take another sheet of phyllo (unbuttered this time) and position the long side in front of you. Fold the bottom edge up to form a fold 1 inch/3 centimeters wide. Continue folding the pastry in alternating directions (as if you were making a concertina fan) until you end up with 1 long pleated strip. Repeat with the remaining sheets of pastry in the same way. (If the pastry breaks or tears, pat it back into place and continue as if the torn pieces were still connected.)
  • Starting from the middle of the tart tin, coil 1 folded strip from the middle outwards to start forming a rough snail, spreading the strips roughly 1/4 inch/1/2 to 1 centimeter apart. (You want visible gaps between the phyllo strips, so you can fill them with chunks of feta and the custard.) Meet the end of the pastry with the second strip and continue the snail in the same way until the 4 sheets have been used. You may still have some space around the edge, which you can fill with the scrap trimmings, folding them in the same way as best you can.
  • Brush the pastry carefully with remaining butter and set any pastry coils upright if they've fallen over. Place tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the pastry is a dark golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix feta, pecorino and herbs until blended and set aside.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream and milk with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a good grind of pepper.
  • Gently press cheese and herbs in between the gaps of the phyllo pastry, being careful not to break the pastry base. Pour the custard over evenly, drizzling in just a little at a time and allowing it to soak evenly into all the gaps in the pastry. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes, until the custard has set and the cheese has browned. Remove from the oven and serve warm, cut into slices.

Provided by Violet

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Tarts     Fruit Tart Recipes

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 sheets phyllo dough
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
¼ cup white sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon orange zest
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch ground nutmeg
2 cups fresh raspberries
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Drain ricotta cheese in a sieve for 20 minutes; set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 6 3-inch loose-bottomed tart pans with nonfat cooking spray.
  • Leave phyllo sheets in a stack and use a ruler to trace 6 5-inch squares onto top sheet (3 squares across and 2 squares down). Using a sharp knife, cut along traced lines, through all 5 sheets of dough. Immediately line each tart pan with 5 sheets of dough, lightly brushing melted butter or margarine between each layer. Trim edges of dough.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta, sugar, egg, orange rind, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Pour an equal amount of mixture into each tart pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, until golden brown. Cool tarts slightly, then arrange raspberries on top. To serve, remove tarts from pans and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

PHYLLO RICOTTA TORTE WITH SPRING HERBS



Phyllo Ricotta Torte With Spring Herbs image

This buttery, golden phyllo torte is filled with ricotta and seasoned with spring herbs, prosciutto, pecorino Romano and ricotta salata. Cubes of fresh mozzarella add to the overall creaminess and lend a stretchy, gooey bite. It's a dish as convenient as it is stunning; you can assemble the torte up to 24 hours ahead and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake. You may need to add a few minutes onto the baking time, so watch it closely toward the end. Then serve it for brunch, a light supper or as a first course at a dinner party.

Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds/680 grams/3 1/4 cups fresh whole-milk ricotta
1/2 cup/45 grams shredded ricotta salata
1/4 cup/28 grams pecorino Romano
3 large eggs
1 cup chopped soft spring herbs or baby greens (any combination of dill, mint, sorrel, chives, dandelion, parsley, arugula)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup/1 1/2 sticks/170 grams unsalted butter, melted
1 1-pound box phyllo dough, thawed overnight in refrigerator
1/2 cup/70 grams diced prosciutto
1/2 cup/62 grams cubed mozzarella

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine ricotta, ricotta salata, pecorino Romano, eggs, herbs and pepper.
  • Brush Bundt pan with some of the melted butter. Drape 2 sheets of phyllo on top of Bundt pan, poke a hole into phyllo where center tube is and push phyllo into pan to line it. Do this with 2 more sheets placed perpendicular to the first 2 sheets. Continue adding phyllo sheets in this crisscross manner until all sheets are used. Edges of phyllo should hang over edges of pan.
  • Scrape half of the ricotta filling into pan. Scatter prosciutto over ricotta, then top with mozzarella. Spoon the rest of the ricotta mixture on top. Fold edges of phyllo over filling. Using a sharp knife, poke at least 20 holes in dough that reach all the way to bottom of pan. Slowly pour melted butter over torte; some butter will seep through holes and some will remain on top of dough.
  • Place pan on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour 30 minutes, or until torte is puffy and golden brown. Allow torte to cool in pan for 1 to 2 hours before inverting onto a wire rack and slicing. Serve warm.
