- 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
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 !
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.
