Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixed bowl combined ricotta, egg and next three ingredients. Set aside. Roll out puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a paring knife to score a line around the perimeter of the pastry, about 1 inch from the edge. Spoon the cheese mixture over the dough inside the scored edges, spreading out to an even layer. Place the sliced peaches in vertical rows, overlapping just slightly until the entire tart is filled. Brush edges with egg wash.
Bake your ricotta peach tart for 25 minutes, or until crust is golden and edges are puffed up.
