Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams cold unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 150 grams kale (washed, stems removed, and chopped)
- 100 grams feta cheese (crumbled)
- 3 large eggs
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 pinch nutmeg (freshly grated)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
To make the tart crust, combine the flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Gently transfer the dough to the tart pan, pressing it into the edges, and trim any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chopped kale and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the cooked kale evenly over the tart crust. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the kale and feta, allowing it to fill the tart evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the tart from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
