  • 1, thinly sliced Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 medium, thinly sliced Onion
  • 2 cloves, minced Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup, chopped Fresh Basil

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  7. 7Arrange the cooked vegetables over the ricotta cheese mixture in a decorative pattern.
  8. 8Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the vegetables, creating a rustic border.
