📖 Ingredient notes
- Spinach. For this recipe, I use frozen spinach. It makes things easier and quicker. Perfect for a weeknight dinner. If you like spinach, you will love my Pumpkin and spinach quiche or my Sweet potato breakfast hash (AIP, paleo, whole30).
- A store bought (gluten free) puff pastry. Yes, sometimes some things can be store bought instead of homemade. You don't need to be perfect all the time! The puff pastry gives this tart a delicious crispy texture. By the way, if you like puff pastry, you will love my French Tomato Tart and my French Pear and Chocolate Tart. If you can't find any (gluten free) puff pastry, you can use regular (gluten free) pie crust. You can also make this spinach and goat cheese tart with my cassava flour pie crust.
- Plain unsweetened yogurt. I use whatever I have on hand: either goat yogurt or sheep yogurt or even coconut yogurt.
- Goat cheese. For this recipe, you can use a goat cheese log / buche. A couple of Crottins de chavignol (if you have access to those) sliced in two would also be a good choice.
- Nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. These are completely optional, just for seasoning.
🔪 Step by step instructions
- Roll out the puff pastry / pie crust in a 27 cm (10.6 inch) pie pan. Prick it with a fork to prevent it from inflating. Put it for 10 minutes in the oven to partially blind bake (pre-bake) it.
- Thaw the spinach by either putting it in a large bowl and heating it for about 7 minutes in a microwave oven or in a saucepan at medium heat for about 12 minutes, stirring regularly or you can also just take the spinach out of the freezer the day before.
- Drain the spinach if needed (depending on your thawing method) and add the yogurt, nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the spinach evenly on the pie crust.
- Slice the goat cheese log (remove the cheese skin if necessary, depending on the kind of cheese you're using).
- Add the slices of goat cheese log on top of the spinach.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden on top. And voilà! Serve warm. Bon appétit !

💬 Recipe FAQs
How to store this spinach and goat cheese tart

How to reheat this spinach and goat cheese tart?
It can be reheated in a microwave oven in just a few seconds. For that, place your tart on a microwave-safe plate and heat it at high temperature for a few seconds. This is the quickest way to do it but it tends to get the pie crust a little soggy. If you have the time to do so, the best way to reheat this tart is definitely in the oven. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and heat your tart for about 10 minutes.
