👨🍳 Інструкції

For the pastry: Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix egg yolks with ice water and gradually add to flour mixture until dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.

For the filling: In a large bowl, combine ricotta, squeezed spinach, Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
💡 Професійні поради: Ensure spinach is thoroughly squeezed to avoid a watery filling. - 3
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Roll out two-thirds of the pastry and line a 24-26 cm (9-10 inch) pie dish. Trim excess pastry.

Spread the ricotta-spinach mixture evenly into the pastry-lined dish. Make 6 small wells in the filling and carefully crack one whole egg into each well.
