How to Make Ricotta Vegetable And Ham Pie

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  2. Add 1 medium zucchini, grated, and 1/2 cup diced sweet red pepper to the skillet.
  3. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 4 ounces of diced ham, and 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions. Stir well and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in 5 ounces of fresh spinach and remove the skillet from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 15 ounces of ricotta cheese until smooth.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Add the cooled vegetable and ham mixture to the ricotta mixture and stir gently to combine.
  9. Pour the mixture into a greased 12x8 inch baking pan (or a large quiche dish).
  10. If using a quiche dish, add 10 minutes to the baking time.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
