Ingredients

• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams cold unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 150 grams kale (washed, stems removed, and chopped)
• 100 grams feta cheese (crumbled)
• 3 large eggs
• 200 milliliters heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 pinch nutmeg (freshly grated)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

To make the tart crust, combine the flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 4

On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Gently transfer the dough to the tart pan, pressing it into the edges, and trim any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork and set aside.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chopped kale and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Spread the cooked kale evenly over the tart crust. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.

Step 8

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the kale and feta, allowing it to fill the tart evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.

Step 10

Remove the tart from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
