Four Cheese Spinach Tart
This is definitely not for the weight conscious. But if you are going to stray from your diet, this is the perfect excuse.
Ingredients
- Partially baked 9″ pie crust (homemade or store bought)
- 1 ½ lbs washed spinach
- 2 tbsp butter or margarine
- 1 ½ cups sweet onion
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper
- 2 ½ tbsp roasted garlic (or substitute 1 tbs garlic paste)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2-3 ounces Blue cheese crumbled
- ½ cup Ricotta or drained cottage cheese
- ½ cup grated Gouda
Method
- Cook spinach in salted water until it is tender. Strain and dry out a bit
- Chop and set aside
- Heat butter or margarine in a frying pan
- Saute onions just until they are limp
- Stir in spinach until it is fully incorporated and season with salt and pepper
- In a large bowl, mix together cream, eggs, garlic and ricotta (or cottage) cheese
- Add all of the other cheeses
- Stir in onion and spinach mixture
- Put mixture into pastry shell and bake in a 375 degree oven for 30-40 minutes or until set firm and light brown
Not: For a milder taste substitute Swiss Chard for the Spinach and use whatever types of cheese you like.
