Ingredients

• 1 piece pre-made pie crust
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups leeks (white and light green parts only, sliced thinly)
• 4 cups fresh spinach
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 large eggs
• 0.75 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim any excess dough, then prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing. Chill the crust in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Line the chilled crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment. Bake for an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the crust is baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the fresh spinach, cooking until wilted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 7

Stir the cooled spinach and leek mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring everything is evenly combined.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 10

Allow the tart to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
