Add ricotta and eggs and mix well. Add parmesan cheese and fresh nutmeg and just stir through. Butter spring-form pan with 1 tablespoon butter and pour batter into pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a knife inserted near edge exists cleanly. Cool 10 minutes, remove from spring mold and serve warm.
