Ricotta Spinach Tarts
Description
This recipe uses a base of cooked, chopped spinach mixed with ricotta, freshly grated Parmesan, salt, and an egg to create a flavorful and cohesive filling. Pre-made pie dough is cut into circles and placed in a greased muffin pan, providing a uniform tart shell.
The filling is spooned into these shells, then topped with some extra chopped spinach and shredded mozzarella, adding a melted, mild cheese topping. Baking at 375°F for about 20 minutes develops a golden color on the crust and cheese, indicating doneness.
These tarts have a balance of creamy ricotta and spinach textures within a flaky crust, suitable for serving warm or at room temperature. They work well as part of a brunch spread or appetizer selection.
They store well wrapped at room temperature or refrigerated for several days and can be frozen for longer storage, thawing and reheating gently before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups spinach cooked, chopped, divided
- 1/3 cup ricotta cheese dairy
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 2-3 tablespoons mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 pie dough pre made
*Drain the spinach really well, wring out with your hands to remove as much excess moisture as possible.

Notes
- Store wrapped tarts at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerate up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
