Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups leeks (white and light green parts only, thinly sliced)
- 4 cups fresh spinach leaves (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a tart pan or pie dish.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet and carefully fit it into the tart pan, making sure to trim any excess edges. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined. Stir in the chopped dill, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the cooled leek and spinach mixture evenly over the chilled puff pastry crust.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the vegetable mixture.
Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the filling, ensuring it covers all areas.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
