Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Gently press the pastry into the pan and trim any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped Swiss chard and cook until wilted, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Spread the Swiss chard mixture evenly over the prepared puff pastry crust.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring even coverage of the filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tart is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling some feta cheese over the filling before pouring in the egg mixture.
- This tart can be made ahead of time and served cold or at room temperature, making it perfect for gatherings.
- Feel free to substitute spinach or kale for the Swiss chard if desired.
