Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 6 cups Fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1 Garlic head
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Eggs
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (ground)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
To prepare the tart crust, combine the all-purpose flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the cold, diced butter and mix with your hands or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for 15–20 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the roasted garlic. Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until soft.
In a large skillet, sauté the chopped spinach over medium heat until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Once the dough has chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the tart pan and trim any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork and pre-bake for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Squeeze the soft, roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them with a fork. Stir the mashed garlic into the egg mixture.
Distribute the cooled spinach evenly over the pre-baked tart crust. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach.
Bake the tart at 375°F (190°C) for 30–35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
