Ingredients

  • 1 lb ready rolled puff pastry
  • 2 zucchini, finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 9 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 ounces parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 4 slices ham, torn into small pieces
  • 7 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved

Method

  • Heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Roll the pastry from one side to make a rough square, then quarter to make four smaller squares. Prick all over with a fork, transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 15 mins until puffed and golden.
  • Meanwhile, fry the zucchini in the oil until soft and golden, stirring in the garlic for the final minute.
  • Mix together the ricotta, cream, egg and parmesan.
  • Remove the tarts once they have puffed up, flatten the middles and thickly spread the ricotta mixture over, leaving a small border.
  • Scatter over the ham, tomatoes and zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 mins until the filling is slightly risen and golden.
  • Serve with salad if you wish.
