Savory Spinach and Gruyere Tart

Ingredients

• Frozen puff pastry (1 sheet, thawed)
• Fresh spinach (4 cups, washed and chopped)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Gruyere cheese (1 cup, grated)
• Eggs (3 large)
• Milk (1/2 cup)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. On a floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick. Carefully fit it into a tart pan, trimming any excess dough. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.
3. Bake the pastry in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until it turns lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
4. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
6. Spread the sautéed spinach mixture evenly over the baked puff pastry. Sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese generously over the spinach.
7. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and spinach, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
8. Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is beautifully golden brown.
9. Once baked, allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
