Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan or over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook. Stir frequently, until translucent, about 7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds. Add in the chopped Bright Lights® stems and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add in the ribbon leaves. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, or until the leaves begin to wilt, approximately 10 minutes. Drain the water out of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay out your two puff pastry sheets on the baking sheet, combining them to make one large tart.
Spread a thin layer of ricotta on the bottom of the dough, leaving a two to three-inch border all the way around. Then add the shredded Gruyère. Next, spread the Bright Lights® mix over top in a thin, even layer. Top it with shredded swiss cheese. Then,Fold the edges of the dough inward over the filling. Pinch together any tears in the dough.
Beat the egg and water to form egg wash. Brush it over the exposed crust.
Bake until the crust has browned and the cheese has melted, 20-30 minutes. Slide the tart off the parchment and onto a cooling rack or cutting board.
