Broccoli tart

Monday, back to school today! back in our routine. Hubby's at work, daughter is in school, Me? stayed home and cooked meal. I am so itchy trying the broccoli tart that my friend cooked when i visited her at her place. No, i didn't get yet the recipe because this morning when i called her, nobody's answering. I have all the necessary ingredients in the fridge except from the smoked salmon that includes in the recipe gathered over the internet. I was so impatient! can't really help but cooked this yummy broccoli tart :)
 Ingredients : 1 roll thick pastry crust ( ready made bought in the supermarket )
2 heads of broccoli ( blanched )
some heaping spoon of ricotta
3 eggs
3 tbsp cream
30g grated cheese ( any that can easily melt )
salt and pepper
 i cooked my first ever broccoli tart just the way like cooking quiche
First, i cooked the pastry crust in a pie dish for 15 minutes at 175°C. In a bowl, beat eggs add cream, grated cheese, salt and pepper. When the crust is done, remove from the oven. Arrange cooked broccoli on a cooked crust, add ricotta and egg/cheese mixture. Place to the oven and re-bake for another 30 minutes. Longer baking time might needed. I want my crust completely cook and nicely brown so i extended the baking for another 8 minutes.
 this is what we had as our lunch - verdict? soooolicious hubby liked it :)

Satisfied with our lunch! I will definitely do it again but with the recipe of my friend and next time, i should make my own pastry crust not the ready made one from the supermarket i find it too buttery.

yeah saling pusa nakakaisang taon palang sya so me 2 taon pang bubunuin bago mag kinder :) oo sis masarap! madali lang. naisip ko instead na iblanche yung broccoli i-steam ko nlang next time na gagawa ako ulet para hindi sya matubig buti nalang makapal yung pastry dough na binili ko kaya ok lang :)try it baka magustuhan ni rania kung nakain sya ng gulay si clara di kumakain ng gulay kaya kame lang ni hubby. a simple trick you can replace kiri instead of ricotta baka mas magustuhan nya yan
