Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
  2. Roll out the shortcrust pastry sheet and place it into a small tart pan, pressing gently to fit the shape.
  3. Prick the base of the pastry with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.
  4. Bake the pastry base in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until lightly golden, then remove and set aside.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk the large egg with the fresh cheese (ricotta) until smooth.
  6. Add the whole milk, grated parmesan cheese, chopped fresh mint leaves, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl and mix well.
  7. For the cheese and mint mixture evenly over the pre-baked pastry base.
  8. Drizzle the teaspoon of olive oil over the top of the filling for added flavor and moisture.
  9. Return the quiche to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
  10. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

  • Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor and chop them finely.
  • Blind bake the pastry base to avoid a soggy bottom.
  • Let the quiche rest a few minutes before slicing to help it set.
