    **Ingredients**
    – 1¼ pounds white peaches (pitted and thinly sliced)
    – 1 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk)
    – ¼ cup granulated sugar
    – 2 eggs (divided)
    – 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    – 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    – ¼ cup all-purpose flour (sifted)
    – 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed; see Note 1)
    – 1 tablespoon water

    **For serving:**
    – Mint leaves (optional)

    **Instructions**

    **Prepare the ricotta mixture:**
    – Gather 1 cup of ricotta cheese, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
    – Add ¼ cup sifted flour. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. It’s okay if a few lumps remain.

    **Prepare the egg wash:**
    – Crack the remaining egg into a small bowl. Whisk with 1 tablespoon water until smooth. Set aside.

    **Assemble the tart:**
    – Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
    – Remove the thawed puff pastry from the refrigerator. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the puff pastry on the lined baking sheet. Carefully crimp the outside edges of the puff pastry to create a lip around the edge.
    – Use a fork to prick the inside of the puff pastry lightly.
    – Spoon the ricotta mixture onto the puff pastry, leaving about ½ inch of space between the ricotta and the inside edge of the pastry.
    – Arrange the sliced peaches on the ricotta. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash.
    – Transfer the tart to the oven for 28 to 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown around the edges and the ricotta has set.

    **To serve:**
    – Remove the tart from the oven and let it stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.
    – Garnish with fresh mint leaves and slice into pieces. Enjoy!

    **Notes**
    – Note 1: Use a sheet of puff pastry that is roughly 10 inches by 15 inches. Some brands may package the puff pastry as two smaller sheets. You can either make two smaller tarts or simply connect the two smaller sheets to make one larger sheet. I use a bit of water to seal the middle seam of the two sheets together.
