Ingredients

  • 1 puff pastry gluten free, store bought or use my cassava flour pie crust
  • 500 grams frozen spinach (1.1 pounds)
  • 125 grams plain yogurt of your choice (I usually take goat yogurt but coconut yogurt also works perfectly)
  • 6 slices of goat cheese log (also called buche)
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 410° F (210°C)
  • 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 !

Notes

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
This tart 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.
