Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and carefully place it into a tart pan, trimming any excess pastry that hangs over the edges.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Pour the spinach mixture into the prepared tart shell, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tart is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Once baked, allow the tart to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider adding minced garlic or fresh herbs such as basil or oregano to the filling.
- You can substitute the feta cheese with goat cheese for a creamier texture or use a mix of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra nutrition and color.
