Tart with Zucchini, Prosciutto, and Pine Nuts Recipe

  • Crust:
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • Filling:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 zucchini, coarsely grated
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves stripped
  • sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 10 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon bread crumbs
  • 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 6 tablespoons pine nuts
  1. Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup butter, 1 egg, sour cream, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl; knead until dough comes together. Shape dough into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  2. Roll out dough into a 10-inch circle on a lightly floured work surface.
  3. Grease a 9-inch tart tin with 1 teaspoon butter. Press dough into the tart tin. Trim edges with a sharp knife. Place crust in the refrigerator.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  5. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add zucchini; cook and stir until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
  6. Mix ricotta cheese and 1 egg together in a bowl. Fold in zucchini and Parmesan cheese gently.
  7. Sprinkle bread crumbs over chilled crust; cover with prosciutto slices. Spread ricotta-zucchini mixture evenly over prosciutto. Smooth the top with a spatula; sprinkle pine nuts on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven until center is firm and top is golden, about 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
