  • Preparation: 60 minutes
  • Cooking: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 All Purpose Pie Crust - dough made and chilled for a few hours
  • 500 grams Spinach Leaves (Palak) - finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Britannia Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese
  • 3 cloves Garlic - finely chopped
  • Salt and Pepper - to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. To begin making the Cheese and Spinach Tart Recipe, preheat the oven to 180 C and grease the muffin molds with butter
  2. Once the pie crust is chilled enough, to begin we will generously flour the work surface
  3. Place the chilled pie crust on the flour and using the heel of your palms, press down the dough to make it flat and pulling it outward to stretch the dough
  4. Now using a rolling pin roll out the dough to a large round of about quarter inch thickness
  5. Once done, cut the pie dough into pieces that will fit into your muffin mold
  6. Do your best to work quickly, keeping the dough as cold as possible and using enough flour that it doesn’t stick to the counter
  7. Place and lightly press each of the dough pieces into a muffin tin
  8. Once all the pie dough pieces have fit in, place this in the refrigerator to chill until we get the spinach filling ready
  9. Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan or a wok, on medium heat; add in the chopped garlic and saute until it begins to sizzle
  10. Add in the chopped spinach, a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper powder
  11. Turn the heat to high and cook until the spinach is soft and all the water vapourised
  12. Once cooked and the water has vapourised allow the spinach to cool
  13. In a large bowl, to the cooled spinach add in a quarter cup of cream cheese and a cup grated cheese
  14. Stir to combine to form a smooth mixture
  15. If you like to spice it up like I do, add in some chilly flakes and stir it into the spinach
  16. Once the spinach is ready and the tart cups are chilled, spoon the spinach filling into each of the chilled tart cups
  17. Place the tart cups into the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes until the crust is golden brown
  18. Place the Cheese and Spinach Tarts on a party platter and serve them for holiday parties
