1/4 cup low-fat milk

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli will give your tart the best flavor and texture.

  • Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is one of the main ingredients in this tart, so it's important to use a good quality brand.
  • Don't over-mix the filling: Over-mixing the filling will make it tough.
  • Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown: This will ensure that the tart is cooked through.
  • Let the tart cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the tart to set.
