Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups cooked chopped spinach (divided)
- 1/3 cup ricotta (I used dairy ricotta)
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 2-3 tablespoons shredded mozzarella
- 1 pre made pie dough
*Drain the spinach really well, wring out with your hands to remove as much excess moisture as possible.
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375° (190° celsius), lightly grease a 12 medium size muffin pan.
- In a medium bowl mix together 1 1/4 cups (220 grams) chopped spinach, ricotta, parmesan, salt and egg.
- Cut out 9 medium size circles and place in muffin pan, fill with ricotta mixture and top with some of the remaining (1/2 cup/95 grams) chopped spinach.
- Top with shredded mozzarella and bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden. Enjoy!

Notes
- Wrap these ricotta spinach tarts in plastic wrap and they will keep well at room temperature for a day or two, or you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them in a freezer-safe container, they will keep for up to 2 months in the freezer. Be sure to thaw them overnight in the fridge and warm in a low oven or microwave.
