The savory carrot cake is a simple and delicious rustic cake , prepared here with a shell of ready-made shortcrust pastry and a creamy and tasty filling made with eggs, ricotta, diced provola, grated parmesan and striped bacon. Excellent both hot and at room temperature, it is perfect as a starter or main course along with your favorite seasonal side dish.
Its preparation is very simple, all you have to do is peel the carrots, cut them into slices and then season them in a non-stick pan with sautéed onions , a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper until soft but still crunchy.
Now mix the now cold vegetables with the cow’s milk ricotta well drained of the whey and the rest of the indicated ingredients in a bowl and then pour everything into a 22 cm diameter pan in which you have rolled out the brisée with all its baking paper.
By putting it in the hot oven at 180 ° C for half an hour you will have a fragrant and delicious dish that children will also love and that you can take with you on a picnic or a trip into town.
For a more authentic result, you can prepare the brisée at home with ice water, flour and cold butter cut into pieces, or replace it with puff pastry or matta.
To obtain a dry and uniform filling, remember to drain the dairy product well in a fine-mesh sieve for at least half an hour before proceeding with the preparation. If you want, you can replace the cow’s milk ricotta with sheep’s or goat’s ricotta for a stronger flavor and, if you have vegetarian guests, simply omit the bacon from the recipe.
If you prefer, you can use Pecorino instead of Parmesan or choose another cream cheese that you like, such as Scamorza, Emmental or Fontina.
