Ingredients
- PASTRY:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 stick (8 Tbsp.) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1″ pieces
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- ½ tsp. salt
- Pinch of ground black pepper
- ¼ cup ice water
- FILLING:
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 shallot, peeled and diced
- 2 packages (approximately 10 oz. each) frozen spinach, defrosted and wrung dry
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 4 oz. goat cheese
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes, diced
Directions
- Make the pastry by adding the flour, butter, olive oil and salt to a food processor. Pulse a few times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With the machine running, slowly add the ice water through the feed tube until a dough ball forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out the pastry to a circle large enough to fit in a deep-dish tart pan with a removable bottom. Place the pastry in the pan, poke several holes in the bottom with the tines of a fork and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool while making the filling.
- To make the filling, add the olive oil and diced shallot to a large skillet. Cook on medium heat, stirring often, until the shallots become translucent. Stir in the spinach and remove from the heat to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, ground black pepper, goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir in the spinach and shallot mixture and pour into the par-baked tart shell.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the dough is lightly golden brown and the center is set. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
