Maltese Cheese Pie (Torta tal-Rikotta)
I decided to make a traditional Maltese dish the other night, Maltese Cheese Pie. Delicious with a small salad or by itself.
Ingredients:
600 gms ricotta cheese.
2 sheets puff pastry
1/3 cup chopped parsley
3 eggs beaten.
Method
Add most of the 3 beaten eggs and the parsley to the cheese but save about a teaspoon of the eggs for latter. Mix all together. Season with salt and lots of pepper. Place a sheet of pastry in a greased pie dish to form the bottom. Fill with the cheese mixture. Cover the top with the second pastry sheet. Fold over the edges and close with a fork. Paint the pie with the remaining beaten eggs so it will brown. Cut a few vents in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake at 180C for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
