Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh leeks and spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water before using.
  • To easily measure the feta cheese, crumble it into a measuring cup. You can also use pre-crumbled feta cheese.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate. Just trim the edges of the filo dough to fit the pan.
  • To prevent the filo dough from drying out, brush it with melted butter before baking.
  • For a golden crust, brush the top of the tart with an egg wash before baking.
  • Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This feta spinach and leek tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of creamy feta cheese, wilted spinach, and caramelized leeks is simply irresistible. The flaky filo dough crust adds the perfect finishing touch. Whether you serve it as an appetizer, main course, or side dish, this tart is sure to be a hit.
