Here’s my recipe for a puff pastry tart with spinach, goat cheese, and pine nuts. It’s a simple yet delicious recipe that I make all the time when I’m short on time. The kids and visiting friends love it 😋!

In fact, this puff pastry quiche is so delicious that it should make most kids love spinach!

For convenience, you can use frozen spinach if you don’t have fresh on hand. Once thawed and mixed with crème fraîche and eggs, it works perfectly!

As for the size, I’m presenting this tart here in a large pan as a main course. If you’re serving it as an appetizer or for a cocktail party, you can also make individual tartlets or mini-tartlets. In that case, you’ll need to use appropriate pans in the right size for your needs.

Enjoy this spinach and goat cheese puff pastry tart, and thank you in advance for your comments!

P.S. Thanks to Ratatouille for the photos 🤩

1 puff pastry
500 g of spinach fresh or frozen
50 g of pine nuts
10 cl of heavy cream
1 goat cheese log
3 eggs
salt, pepper

Kitchen utensils
pie pan
steamer basket or...
pressure cooker with steamer basket
parchment paper
pastry whisk

1
If you're using fresh spinach, wash it in plenty of cold water, trim off any stems that are too long or damaged, and steam it for 10 minutes.
If you have a pressure cooker, use the steamer basket to cook the spinach, and cover without pressurizing. Otherwise, you can boil the spinach, but be sure to drain it well; otherwise, it will release too much liquid into the tart.

Drain the spinach thoroughly in a colander or sieve (press down with the palm of your hand or the back of a tbsp).
2
If you're using frozen spinach, simply thaw it in a bowl or on a plate for 5–7 minutes in the microwave (set to 30–40% of maximum power).
3
Meanwhile, slice the goat cheese log into rounds about half a centimeter thick.
4
Place the puff pastry, along with its parchment paper, in a pie pan.
Trim the parchment paper to fit the pan.
5
Spread the spinach over the puff pastry base. Season lightly with salt.
Arrange the goat cheese rounds on top.
6
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl with a fork.
Add the crème fraîche, season with salt and pepper, and beat again until the mixture is smooth.
7
Pour the filling over the tart.
Sprinkle with pine nuts, and bake for 30 minutes.
8
Serve this tart while it's still warm, along with a green salad or lamb's lettuce.
