Corsican Greens Pie with Butternut Squash and Three Cheeses

This vibrant Corsican greens pie is a sophisticated yet simple vegetarian dish that celebrates the earthy flavours of Swiss chard and sweet butternut squash. Inspired by Mediterranean herb tarts, it combines a trio of cheeses—salty feta, sharp Pecorino, and creamy ricotta—with fresh mint and parsley for a bright, aromatic finish. The golden puff pastry provides a crisp, buttery base that contrasts beautifully with the tender, ribboned squash and toasted pine nuts.

Ideal for a light lunch or a seasonal supper, this versatile savoury tart can be served warm from the oven or at room temperature. The inclusion of nutrient-dense greens makes it a wholesome choice for a midweek meal, while the elegant presentation ensures it is impressive enough for weekend entertaining. Serve with a crisp green salad to balance the rich, cheesy filling.

How to make Corsican Greens Pie with Butternut Squash and Three Cheeses

Preheat oven to 218°C. Roll out pastry to 1/8-inch thickness, then cut it into a 12-inch-wide circle. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add onion, celery, chard stems, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and a hearty grind of black pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add chard leaves, garlic, and sage and cook until chard leaves are wilted, about 5 minutes more. Transfer vegetable mixture to a large bowl and stir in mint, parsley, feta, Pecorino, pine nuts, lemon zest, and 45ml of the ricotta. Set aside to cool, about 10 minutes.

Toss the squash ribbons (if using) with remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Spread vegetable mixture onto the pastry, leaving 1 1/4-inch border. Dollop remaining ricotta on the vegetable mixture and top with squash ribbons. Roll the pastry edges up around the side of the filling and pinch edges together to form a secure edge around the tart. Brush pastry with beaten egg and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Bake tart until pastry is golden and cooked through at the bottom, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
