This savory tart combines the richness of spinach, tomatoes, and cheese in a delightful crust.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Lay the pre-made pie crust into a tart or quiche pan, pressing it gently to fit.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the spinach until wilted.
Cook spinach in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over the crust.
Ensure an even layer for consistent flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper.
Whisk thoroughly to combine the ingredients well.
Pour the egg mixture over the spinach in the crust.
Pour slowly to avoid spilling over the edges.
Arrange the cherry tomatoes on top of the filling and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped chives.
Place tomatoes evenly for a visually appealing presentation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Cooling allows the filling to set for easier slicing.
