Critical Success Points

  • Roasting tomatoes at low temperature to preserve fresh flavor
  • Creating a smooth, well‑seasoned ricotta‑mozzarella filling
  • Rolling pasta sheets thin enough to handle but not tear
  • Blanching pasta sheets briefly to prevent sticking
  • Griddling vegetables until deeply caramelized
  • Layering without air pockets and pressing to flatten
  • Baking at 325°F until the egg sets
  • Final griddle crisping for texture contrast

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oven and griddle with oven mitts; surfaces can exceed 350°F.
  • Raw eggs are used in the filling; ensure they are fresh and consider using pasteurized eggs if concerned.
