- 14 ounces frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg white
FOR THE PASTRY:
- 2 bunches spinach, roughly chopped
- butter, for sautéing
- 2 rounds feta
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
FOR THE FILLING:
- 1 cup cream or fat free heavy cream
- 3 eggs
FOR THE TOPPING
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. On a floured work surface, roll out the pastry, then use it to line a loose-bottomed tart tin. Prick the base and bake blind for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, then brush the base and sides of the pastry case with the egg white and bake for a further 10 minutes.
TO MAKE THE PASTRY CASE:
- Steam the spinach for 5 minutes, then drain and finely chop. Lightly sauté the onion and garlic in the butter and mix with the cooked spinach. Crumble in the feta.
FOR THE FILLING:
- Fill the pastry shell with the spinach-and-feta mixture. Pour over the egg-and-cream topping and bake for 20 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown.
