Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out pastry dough and line a 9-inch tart pan. Trim excess dough and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden; set aside.
Step 2: In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 small sliced leek and 1 clove minced garlic, sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in 2 cups chopped spinach and 1 tsp oregano, cooking for 2 minutes until wilted.
Step 3: In a bowl, mix 1 cup softened goat cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, 1 beaten egg, and 1 tsp oregano. Spread the sautéed spinach mixture in the tart shell, then top with the goat cheese mixture. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool slightly before serving.
