Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Wash and stem the spinach and cook it in a pan of hot water. It's best to cook the spinach in three separate quantities, transferring it each time into a colander to let it drain. Raw spinach is very bulky, but when cooked the volume will reduce quite a lot.

Step 2

In a food processor, mix together the eggs, grated comté, beaufort, creme fraiche, salt, pepper, nutmeg.

Step 3

Squeeze the spinach to drain all the remaining water.

Step 4

Add the spinach to the food processor and mix the whole for 30 seconds until smooth.

Step 5

Roll out the pastry onto baking paper, place in a flan tin and garnish with the filling.

Step 6

Bake for 35/40 mins at 200°C. Serve with a side salad. The tart can be eaten either hot or cold and can be prepared the night before.
