Savory Farro Pie (Ricotta & Egg Tart) Recipe
This savory pie recipe is built around fresh ricotta and egg, finished with grated hard cheese, parsley, and a hint of nutmeg. You simply mix the filling, pour it into a buttered pan, and bake until lightly golden and set. For a farro version, stir in cooked farro—see how to make it step by step below.

Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the pan
Heat the oven to 180°C. Generously butter a medium tart or pie pan so the slices release easily.
Mix the base
In a bowl, smooth out the ricotta with a fork. Add the egg and stir just until combined.
Season the filling
Mix in the grated hard cheese, parsley, and nutmeg. If you’re using farro, fold in the cooked farro now.
Fill the pan
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and level the top with a spatula for even baking.
Bake until set
Bake for about 35–45 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the center is set. If it browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
Rest and serve
Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
