Preparation
Step 1
In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 5 mins. Add the garlic, stir and cook until fragrant, 1 min. Add the spinach and cook until wilted and tender, 2 mins. Remove from the heat, taste and season with salt and pepper as needed; let cool.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the ricotta, 2 eggs, thyme and salt. Fold the cooled vegetable mixture in.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry until its 12" square. Using a 12" plate, cut the dough into a circle. Transfer to parchment paper lined baking sheet. Spoon the tart filling into the center, leaving a 2" boarder of dough. Lift the pastry edges over the filling and fold. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with 1 tbsp water and brush it along the crust.
Bake until golden brown, about 45 mins. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 mins before serving.
