This tart looks delicious!
It really is! Thanks!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
I made the tart, and it is not only beautiful to look at but also very tasty – just one question – does the egg yolk go into the cheese mixture? I added it to the ricotta, as you would with manicotti. Love your site – and have made several other recipes – AWESOME!!
Hi Jude,
So glad you liked it! Its a popular one around here. I have also made it with tomato slices and basil on top. YUM! I fixed the recipe, and yes, you add to the ricotta mixture. Thanks!
