Instructions

    egg mixture for pie
  • Add 1 tablespoon grated pecorino cheese and beat well.

  • Prepare your sheet of pastry in a baking dish, and pre bake it without the ingredients. You can add some beans or pie weights so it doesn't puff up, or you can simply release the puffs air with a fork, when you take it out of the oven. I rolled the edges before baking it to create a nice border.
    preparing puff pastry for blind baking
  • Sauté the artichokes with the prepared garlic to further release the flavours.
    cooking artichokes
  • Add the egg mixture to cook with the artichokes and garlic, and lower the heat.
    adding eggs to artichokes
  • Your puff pastry should be out of the oven after 10 minutes. You can now start adding the filling.
    puff pastry base
  • The first ingredient we want to add is the breadcrumbs. That will help absorb any liquid from the other ingredients, and reduce the wetness that sometimes happens on the bottom.

  • Next add slices of mozzarella cheese until you've covered all the pie.

  • Now, you can add the artichokes and eggs mixture you cooked in the pan. By now, it should be a little cooler and also firmer.

  • Top with any leftover sliced mozzarella cheese.
  • Finish with some grated pecorino on top.

  • Bake it in the oven for at least 40 minutes, at 180 degrees Celsius. Don't let the top get burnt; for that you can cook it at a lower level and then transfer it to the top of the oven towards the end of the baking time.
  • When it's done, let it rest and cool. Then slice it into 2 or 4 and enjoy with a salad. Buon appetito.
