Default Here's what I did with that leftover ricotta cheese

I made a savory galette..

I used my pie crust recipe, the recipe makes 8 single crusts so I had
some in the freezer.

Sauteed in bacon fat:
1/2 medium onion
1 cup chopped leftover ham
1 clove garlic
cooked till onion was softened and garlic was just beginning to color,
removed from skillet and set aside.

In same skillet sauteed one bunch of rainbow chard (mixed colors of
chard) till tender and
most of the moisture was used up. Count in the bunch of chard was 10
large leaves. Salted and peppered the chard as it sauteed. Mixed the
chard with the sauteed onions and ham mixture.

In another bowl:
mixed 2 cups of leftover mashed potatoes with
1 cup of the leftover ricotta cheese
about 1/3 cup shredded parmesan (the bits I had leftover)
handful of real bacon bits
salt and pepper

Rolled out the pie crust.
Spread the potato mixture over the crust to within 2 inches of the
edge.
Spread the chard ,ham and onion mixture over the potatoes
Sprinkled about 2 ounces of crumbled feta cheese over the top

Folded up the sides to make the galette.

Baked at 400 for about 30 minutes.

Very tasty if I do say so myself.

I've gotten into galettes in the last few months and I've decided that
savory galettes are one of the best ways ever to use up leftovers.
Here's some recipes I put on my website.
