Ingredients
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Milk
- 1/2 cup
- Eggs
- 3 large
- Goat cheese
- 4 ounces, crumbled
- Swiss chard
- 4 cups, chopped (about 1 bunch)
- Pie crust
- 1 (9-inch) prepared crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust and gently press it into a tart pan. Trim any excess dough and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with additional salt and pepper.
- Spread the sautéed Swiss chard evenly over the prepared pie crust.
- Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the Swiss chard, ensuring an even distribution.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the filling, ensuring it saturates the tart evenly.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set in the center.
- Allow the tart to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider incorporating a pinch of nutmeg into the egg mixture.
- This tart can be made ahead of time and enjoyed cold or reheated, making it great for meal prep.
- Feel free to substitute Swiss chard with spinach or kale for a different twist.
