Grana padano is a more affordable cheese with a similar flavor.

Make rough puff pastry by mixing 250 grams of flour with half of 250 grams of cubed butter and massage together.

Add the remaining butter and continue to massage until combined.

Gradually add 100 ml of water until the dough is not too wet, adding more flour if necessary.

Wrap the dough in clean film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Chop one onion, mushrooms, shallot, and garlic.

Heat a pan with oil and butter, then add garlic, onion, and shallots, cooking until golden brown.

Season with salt, garlic powder, pepper, and nutmeg, then add chopped mushrooms and fry for 2-3 minutes.

Add 500 grams of spinach and cook for 1 minute, then drain and cool in the fridge.

In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs, then reserve some for egg wash.

Add chopped mozzarella, a tablespoon of ricotta, and parmesan cheese to the egg mixture and mix well.

Combine the cooled spinach mixture with the cheese mixture and season with salt and pepper.

Flour the tray and roll out the rough puff pastry to cover the bottom and sides of the tray, leaving enough for a top.

Pour the cheesy spinach mixture into the tray and press halved hard-boiled eggs into it.

Roll out the remaining dough for the top, seal the edges, and poke holes in it with a fork.

Brush the top with egg wash and bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for one hour, covering with foil if it starts to burn.
