How to Make Leek And Spinach Tart With Rice Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
  2. Prepare the rice crust: In a food processor, combine cooked rice, flour, parmesan cheese, olive oil, and salt. Pulse until a coarse dough forms. Press the dough firmly into the prepared tart pan, forming an even crust. Prick the bottom with a fork.
  3. Sauté the leeks: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add leeks and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Wilt the spinach: Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in the sautéed leeks and spinach.
  6. Assemble the tart: Pour the leek and spinach mixture into the prepared rice crust.
  7. Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool slightly before serving.
  8. Remove from the pan and serve.
