Spinach & Goat's cheese tart


This is a very simple lunch or supper dish using the lovely fresh spinach leaves that are beginning to come on the market.

Ingredients:-
500 g spinach
Packet of Puff pastry
Soft goats cheese (amount depends on personal taste – about 200g)
5 large eggs
Salt & pepper

Method:-
Cook spinach after thoroughly washing.
Drain & allow to cool before putting into mixer with two thirds of the cheese, season to taste and blend together.
Whisk 5 large eggs until light and fluffy, fold into spinach/cheese mixture.
Line & put pastry into flan dish.
Pour mixture into flan case and decorate with rest of goats cheese broken into small pieces.
Place in pre-heated oven 200° for about 35 minutes. It should rise a bit like a soufflĂ© and be an amazing shade of green.
Take out of oven and eat hot!! (be careful not to burn your mouth)

Susie didn't think a picture of spinach would be that exciting so thought you might like some artichokes instead!!
