Torta Pasqualina alla California

An 8" "Torta Pasqualina" savory eggy cake is topped with crispy phyllo and shown on a fancy porcelain plate. One slice has been removed.

This tasty savory ricotta custard is encased in phyllo sheets baked to a delightful crispiness with liberal brushes of olive oil. Chock full of greens and--if you choose--whole eggs--make this for brunch or a special lunch to herald spring.
