Categories     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 12

• One ready-to-bake pastry crust for a 9-inch tart
• 3 tbsp. butter, divided
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/2 lb. fresh spinach, washed and stemmed
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 2 small leeks, white parts only, thinly sliced
• 1/2 c. bread crumbs
• Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 1/2 c. peeled, seeded and diced fresh tomatoes
• 2 tbsp. minced parsley, for garnish
• 2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Fit pastry into 9-inch springform pan. Bake and let cool slightly in the pan. To prepare filling, in a skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and the olive oil over moderate heat. Add spinach and lemon juice; cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a strainer; press to extract excess liquid. Return skillet to moderate heat; add remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add garlic and leeks; saute until leeks are softened but not browned (about 10 minutes). Stir in bread crumbs; add salt and pepper. Arrange spinach around sides and bottom of baked, cooled crust. Spoon in leek mixture. Spoon tomatoes over top. Return to oven; bake until filling is hot throughout (5 to 8 minutes). Let filling rest 3 to 5 minutes before unmolding tart. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan before serving.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but this tart was surprisingly good. The leeks and cheese really helped to balance out the flavor of the spinach.

This tart was a bit bland for my taste. I think next time I'll add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives to the filling for extra flavor.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but this tart was surprisingly good. The flavors all worked really well together, and the crust was perfectly crispy.

This tart was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use a lighter cheese, like ricotta, in the filling.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually add a bit of crumbled bacon to the filling for extra flavor.
