Preparation of the savory pie with bacon and cheeses
In the bowl, pour the ricotta, eggs, cubed bacon, diced scamorza, hand-torn basil, and salt. Mix with a spoon until you get a homogeneous and creamy mixture.
Unroll the puff pastry and lay it in a non-stick tart pan, prick the bottom with a fork and pour all the filling inside, leveling it with the spoon, slightly fold the edges over themselves.
Preheat the oven to 428°F (220°C) and once hot, bake and cook for 40/45 minutes until the edges are well browned. Once cooked, take the pie out and let it cool completely before removing it from the pan.
Once the savory pie with bacon and cheeses is cold, remove it from the pan, place it on a serving plate, garnish with fresh basil and serve! Enjoy your meal!
