Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust into a tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake crust blind by placing parchment paper and pie weights on it, baking for 10 minutes until set but not browned.
- Step 2: While crust bakes, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 minced garlic clove and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 3: Add 150 g fresh spinach and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Step 4: In a mixing bowl, whisk 4 large eggs with 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg until smooth.
- Step 5: Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over the baked crust. Sprinkle 100 g crumbled goat cheese on top.
- Step 6: Pour the egg and cream mixture over the spinach and cheese. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the filling is set and golden around the edges.
- Step 7: Let the tart cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
