SPINACH AND ONION TART



Spinach and Onion Tart image

This is a classic combination for a quiche, but it's lighter, with a whole-wheat and olive oil crust. If you don't have the time to make the crust, store bought will work just fine.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 yeasted olive oil pastry (1/2 recipe)
1 1/2 pounds fresh spinach, stemmed and washed in 2 changes of water, or 3/4 pound baby spinach, rinsed
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, coarsely chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
4 eggs
3/4 cup low-fat milk
2 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (1/2 cup)
1 ounce freshly grated Parmesan (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 10-inch tart pan and line it with the pastry. Keep it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
  • Steam the spinach above an inch of boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, until wilted. You will probably have to do this in batches. I like to use a pasta pot with an insert for steaming spinach, as I can get a lot of it into the insert. Rinse briefly with cold water, squeeze out excess water and chop medium-fine.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it is tender and beginning to color, about 8 minutes. Add the spinach, thyme and salt and pepper to taste, and stir together. Remove from the heat.
  • Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add salt to taste (I use about 1/2 teaspoon) and whisk in the milk. Stir in the onion and spinach mixture and the cheeses. Scrape into the pastry-lined tart pan. Place in the oven and bake 40 to 45 minutes, until tart is set and beginning to color on the top. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or room temperature.

2 (16 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup butter
1/2 cup olive oil, plus
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb phyllo pastry, thawed (the box I used had 40 sheets)

Tips:

  • If you don't have any puff pastry on hand, you can use phyllo dough instead. Just be sure to brush it with melted butter before baking.
  • To make the spinach and onion filling, be sure to cook the spinach down until it is very soft and all of the liquid has evaporated. This will help to prevent the pie from becoming soggy.
  • Don't over mix the dough when making the pastry. Over-mixing will make the dough tough.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to make the dough easier to work with and prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • If you don't have any parchment paper, you can grease the pie pan with butter or cooking spray.
  • To prevent the edges of the pie from burning, you can cover them with aluminum foil during baking.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the filling from oozing out.

Conclusion:

Spinach and onion cheese pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and cheesy topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, be sure to give this one a shot. You won't be disappointed.
