Ingredients
For the Filling:
500g fresh spinach, washed and chopped
200g feta cheese, crumbled
100g Greek mizithra ricotta or cream cheese (optional for creaminess)
3 green onions, finely chopped
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Tart Base:
1 sheet of puff pastry or shortcrust pastry
2 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add green onions, sautéing until fragrant.
Add spinach and cook until wilted. Drain excess liquid and let it cool.
In a bowl, combine cooked spinach, feta cheese, mizithra or ricotta (if using), dill and beaten eggs.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the pastry and fit it into a tart pan. Prick the base with a fork to prevent puffing.
Pre-bake the tart shell for 10 minutes.
Pour the spinach mixture into the pre-baked tart shell, spreading it evenly.
Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown.
Let the tart cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad or tzatziki.
Enjoy your homemade Greek Spanakopita Tart!
