Ingredients:
- 1 sheet (250g) all-butter puff pastry, chilled
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp (15ml) whole milk (for egg wash)
- 1 lb (450g) fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup (125g) whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 cup (150g) feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup (50g) parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten (for filling)
- 1/4 tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp (3g) sea salt
- 1/2 tsp (1g) freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Sauté the 1 lb (450g) of baby spinach with olive oil and garlic until completely wilted and dark green.
- Place the cooked spinach in a colander or towel and squeeze out every drop of liquid.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the 2 large eggs, then stir in the ricotta, crumbled feta, parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- Fold the dried, chopped spinach into the cheese mixture until no white lumps remain.
- Unroll the chilled puff pastry onto a parchment lined sheet and score a 1 inch border around the edge with a knife.
- Spread the spinach and cheese filling inside the border, keeping it level and even.
- Whisk the remaining egg with 1 tbsp of milk and brush it onto the exposed pastry edges.
- Bake for 35 minutes until the pastry is deep golden and the filling is set.
- Let the tart rest for 5 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife to maintain the layers.
