broccoli, pumpkin, sage
and goat’s cheese tart
- 1 x quantity broccoli dough (see recipe link under method)
- 800g (1 lb 12 oz) pumpkin, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt and cracked black pepper
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup (240g/8½ oz) fresh ricotta
- 16–20 sage leaves
- 150g (5¼ oz) goat’s cheese, broken into large pieces
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line 2 x 18cm-based 22cm-wide 3cm-high (7 in x 8½ in x 1 in) pie tins with non-stick baking paper. Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
- Divide the dough in half and press evenly over the bases and sides of the pie tins. Place the pumpkin on the baking tray, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake the tart shells and pumpkin for 20 minutes or until golden.
- Place the eggs, ricotta, salt and pepper in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Place the sage and the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a small bowl and toss to coat.
- Divide the roasted pumpkin between the tart shells. Top with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the goat’s cheese and sage. Bake for a further 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and the egg is set.
- Allow tarts to cool slightly in the tins before lifting out and slicing into wedges to serve. Serves 6–8

TIPS + TRICKS
+ These tarts are great served either warm or at room temperature with a simple salad of greens.
+ The broccoli tart shell won’t crumble like regular pastry, making it the perfect portable picnic food!
+ To add a smoky bacon flavour to the tarts, cook 4 trimmed and chopped rashers of bacon in a pan until golden. Sprinkle the bacon into the tart shells with the pumpkin.

So delicious! It froze beautifully. I cooled the crust before adding the filling.

Hi Hayley, We don’t recommend freezing this one, as the broccoli dough may not hold it’s form, but let us know how you go!

Hi! If I made two and froze one of them do you think that would be okay?

I’d recommend removing the paper and leaving to cool on a wire rack so that the base doesn’t become too moist.
Delicious flavour, easy to make and a good go to recipe for a GF option.
