Whipped Feta & Greens Tart - Chef's Special

This tart combines creamy whipped feta with fresh greens in a crispy pastry shell, making it a bright and satisfying meal. It's a great option for a light dinner or a fancy brunch.

Ingredients

• 230 grams puff pastry, 1 sheet
• 200 grams feta cheese, crumbled
• 60 grams plain yogurt
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 150 grams fresh spinach, washed and dried
• 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
• 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 lemon, zest and juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Carefully unroll the 230 grams sheet of puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Score a border about 1.5 cm (0.5 inch) from the edge of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through.
3. In a food processor, combine 200 grams crumbled feta cheese, 60 grams plain yogurt, 1 minced clove garlic, 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano, and 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Process until smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add a tiny bit more yogurt.
4. Spread the whipped feta mixture evenly over the puff pastry, staying within the scored border.
5. In a medium bowl, toss 150 grams fresh spinach, 1 thinly sliced medium zucchini, and 0.5 thinly sliced medium red onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the zest from 0.5 lemon, and the juice from 0.5 lemon.
6. Arrange the tossed greens and vegetables evenly over the whipped feta base on the puff pastry.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
8. Remove the tart from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before sprinkling with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves. Slice and serve warm.
