Ingredients

Pre-made tart crust or pie dough

Olive oil

1 shallot, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups fresh kale (stems removed, chopped)

½ cup heavy cream

2 oz cream cheese

4 oz goat cheese (crumbled)

2 large eggs

Zest of 1 lemon

Pinch of nutmeg

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup capers (drained and dried)

1 tbsp butter or olive oil (for frying capers)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the tart crust into a tart pan, trimming the edges. Prick the base with a fork and blind bake for 10 minutes.

  • Sauté Shallots and Garlic: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté shallots and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  • Cook the Kale: Add chopped kale to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and cream cheese, cooking until smooth and slightly thickened. Season with salt, pepper, lemon zest, and a pinch of nutmeg.

  • Cool and Add Eggs: Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs.

  • Fill the Tart: Pour the creamed kale mixture into the pre-baked tart shell. Crumble goat cheese over the top.

  • Bake the Tart: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

  • Fry the Capers: While the tart bakes, heat butter or oil in a small pan over medium heat. Fry the capers for 2-3 minutes until crispy, then drain on paper towels.

  • Serve: Once the tart is done, top with the crispy capers just before serving.

Notes

Leafy Greens: Swap kale for spinach or Swiss chard if preferred.

Cheese Alternatives: You can replace goat cheese with feta or ricotta.

Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of chili flakes for some heat.

Flakier Crust: Use puff pastry instead of tart crust for a lighter, flakier texture.
