Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Blend cream and 2 ounces feta in a food processor until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
- If using 14-ounce package of puff pastry, cut in half and roll out each half on a lightly floured surface into a 16x10" rectangle. (If using 17.3-ounce package, use 1 sheet of pastry for each tart.) Transfer each piece of pastry to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a paring knife, lightly score pastry (do not cut all the way through), leaving a 1" border.
- Spread feta mixture over pastry, dividing evenly and staying within border. Arrange artichoke hearts over feta mixture and crumble remaining 2 ounces feta over; drizzle with oil. Brush pastry border with egg.
- Bake tart until pastry is puffed and beginning to brown, 10-15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue to bake until pastry is deep golden brown and cooked through, 20-25 minutes longer. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Do Ahead
- Tart can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
- Variations:
- The feta and puff pastry in this tart pair well with any number of toppings. In place of the artichokes, try:
- Red Pepper + Olive: Scatter feta cream with jarred roasted red peppers, black olives, and chopped fresh rosemary, then bake. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Asparagus + Egg: Top cheese with asparagus that's been halved lengthwise. Once out of the oven, slide on a few fried eggs.
- Smoked Salmon + Scallion: Bake tart with feta only. When slightly cooled, add smoked salmon and sliced scallions.
ARTICHOKE-FETA QUICHE
This recipe is great for breakfast, or add a small salad and a glass of your favorite wine and call it dinner. I never liked artichokes much until I found this years ago in the newspaper. I think the taste of this is great and the recipes notes only 250 calories.

Tips:
- Prepare the artichokes properly: To ensure a tender texture, steam or boil the artichoke hearts until they are fork-tender. If using canned artichoke hearts, drain and rinse them thoroughly before adding them to the quiche filling.
- Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this quiche, so be sure to use a good quality variety. Look for feta that is creamy and flavorful, with a slightly tangy taste.
- Make sure the quiche filling is well-seasoned: The quiche filling should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the quiche.
- Bake the quiche until it is golden brown: The quiche should be baked until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will take about 45-50 minutes.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before serving: Before serving, let the quiche cool slightly so that it has a chance to set. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
