Courgette, ham & ricotta tarts

Courgette is all time favourite. It makes delicious salads, risottos, pastas and bakes. Diced, sliced, always tasty and goes well almost with everything. This time it is mixed with ricotta, ham, cherry tomatoes and baked on top of puff pastry to make a delicious lunch snack. As always, easy to make and full of flavour.



Ingredients:

ready-rolled sheet puff pastry
2 courgettes , diced
2 tsp olive oil
2 crushed garlic cloves
50ml double cream
250g pot ricotta
1 slightly bitten egg
4 slices ham , torn
several cherry tomatoes, halved

Unroll pastry and cut into quite big squares. Place on a baking tray and prick with fork all over. Bake until puffed.

Fry courgettes with garlic until soft and golden. Set aside.

Mix ricotta, cream and eggs and then scatter the mixture over pastry, quite thick layer. Add courgettes, ham and tomatoes on top, season and put into oven for another 15 minutes.

Great with salad or just on it's own, perfect summer snack. Enjoy!
