Ingredients

Spanakopita Tart Pie Shell

  • 1 14 oz Puff Pastry

Spanakopita Tart Filling

  • 1 lb baby spinach thoroughly washed and dried
  • 1 leek, chopped white part only
  • 4 scallions, chopped
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing the Puff Pastry Shell. Please note the following:
    - Most of the Puff Pastry we have found is rectangular in shape so you may need to cut about 3-4 inches off the end and place it on the shorter side of the puff pastry in order to cover the pie plate. (see photo in post)
    - Be very sure to grease your pie plate with olive oil or butter.
    - You will need to cook the Puff Pastry in the pie plate before you fill it. Follow the directions on the box of the Puff Pastry.
    - When you remove it from the oven, it will be Puffy. Don't worry, it will settle as you are preparing your Spanakopita filling.
  • Heat 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in deep saute pan under medium heat. Saute leeks and scallions for 3-4 minutes.
  • Begin to add baby spinach to the sauteed leeks and scallion mixture, one handful at a time, As the spinach cooks down, add another handful of spinach until all the spinach has been cooked.
  • Add the parsley, dill, nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste and combine well.
  • Remove the spinach mixture from the heat. Crumble the feta cheese over the spinach mixture and combine well.
  • Pour the spinach mixture into the prepared puff pastry shell and spread evenly.
  • Gently beat the eggs in a small bowl and pour evenly over the spinach mixture in the prepared puff pastry shell.
  • Bake at 325° for 35 minutes or until egg is thoroughly cooked.
  • Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
