Spinach, Ricotta And Parmesan Tartlets

INGREDIENTS

50g wholewheat flour

50g self raising flour

50g butter

Salt and black pepper

80g Parmesan cheese

125g spinach

2 large eggs

Nutmeg

100g ricotta cheese

100g creme fraiche

PREPARATION

1 Sift the self raising flour into a large bowl and mix with the wholewheat flour, season with a little salt and black pepper and then stir in 45g of finely grated Parmesan cheese. Rub in 50g of room temperature butter, cut into small pieces.

2 When it resembles fine breadcrumbs, mix in cold water gradually until you bring the mixture to a dough. Cover in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

3 Meanwhile, wilt the washed spinach in a hot saucepan for a minute, drain and refresh in a bowl of cold water. Pat dry and chop roughly.

4 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, 160 degrees fan oven. Lightly grease patty tins.

5 Roll the pastry out fairly thinly on a lightly floured surface and cut out discs to fit in the prepared patty tins; I made 15.

6 Beat the eggs in a bowl, add a little finely grated nutmeg and season well with salt and black pepper. Add the creme fraiche and the ricotta cheese and mix well.

7 Put a little spinach into the bottom of each tart and then spoon in the egg and cheese mixture. Top with a little pile of finely grated Parmesan cheese and bake for about 30 minutes, until the pastry is cooked and the filling is puffed up and golden.
