Easter Cake Torta pasqualina Recipe

How to make it

---

• Carefully wash the chard and slice it thinly. Then blanch it in boiling, salted water for two minutes, and drain immediately.
• Peel and chop the onion and garlic.
• Add a little oil to a pan over medium heat.
• Add the onion and, once soft, add the chard and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes.
• Once cooked, remove the chard from the pan and let cool.
• In the meanwhile, finely chop the parsley and marjoram.
• Once the chard is cool, stir in the herbs, ricotta and Parmigiano Reggiano.
• Then begin to assemble the quiche by dusting a work surface with flour. Roll out 4 sheets of pastry dough until as thin as possible.
• Grease a tart mold with extra virgin olive oil and then place one of the sheets on top. Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil.
• Then cover the first layer with a second sheet of dough. Using a fork or a knife, piece small holes into the dough so that it doesn’t bubble during cooking.
• Then add the chard and ricotta mixture. Use a spoon to create 4 small nests in the ricotta and add an egg to each nest.
• Cover the quiche with the third sheet of dough and brush it with olive oil, as before. Cover with the fourth and final layer of dough.
• Using a knife, cut away the excess dough and press down the edges of the quiche, sealing it well.
• Use a knife to pierce small holes into the top of the quiche, but be careful not to make your incisions directly above an egg.
• Brush the top of the quiche with the remaining egg, (previously beaten) and bake in a 350°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, let cool and serve sliced.
