Spinach, Ham and Tomato Savory Tart

Spinach, Ham and Tomato Savory Tart

                         

 

This recipe is great for the mornings when cereal just won’t cut it. A tart also known as a quiche is a great way to start your morning with a portion of protein and veggies. I recommend making your dough ahead of time so that all you have to do is throw the ingredients together and pop it in the oven.

What you will need for the dough

1 ½cups flour

½ tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 stick of cold unsalted butter

1 egg

1 egg yolk

          In a food processor, combine your flour, salt and baking powder. Mix well with the metal blade adapter. Next, add the butter and pulse about 20 times. Add the egg and egg yolk, and then mix until the dough begins to form a ball. Once your dough is ready, roll it out to about ½ inch thick and line your pie pan.

                                

 

 

What you will need for the filling

1 tomato (chopped however you prefer)

4 ounces of ham

About two handfuls of chopped fresh spinach leaves

½ cup Milk

½ cup heavy whipping cream

4 large eggs

 

 

 

                                    

          Once you have lined you pan with your crust, add your ham, tomato and spinach to the crust. Whisk milk, cream and eggs together in a bowl and then pour over crust. Season your tart with salt, and fresh ground pepper.

Bake on lowest rack in oven at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes. Crust should be golden brown.
