SPINACH AND BACON TART RECIPE

Steps:

• To make the flaky pastry dough:To mix the dough by hand (you can also use a food processor to mix the dough), combine the flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl and stir to combine.Cut each piece of butter into 4 or 5 smaller pieces and add the pieces to the bowl. Using both hands, palms upward, reach under the dry ingredients to the bottom of the bowl and lift them up through the contents of the bowl several times to distribute the pieces of butter evenly.Use your fingertips to pinch the pieces of butter into smaller pieces, alternating that with rubbing the mixture between the palms of your hands, as well as occasionally repeating step 2.Continue rubbing in the butter until the largest pieces are no more than 5mm across, but the whole mixture is still cool and powdery.Add the eggs and use a fork to break them up. Move the bowl back and forth on the work surface while you stir from the bottom up with the fork until the dough is almost completely mixed.Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and gently press it into a cohesive mass. Divide the dough in half, then flatten each half into a disc. Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate until firm or as long as 3 days. Shape into a tart tin and chill for at least 3 hours. For the filling:Rinse the spinach and place it in a colander to drain. Place the spinach in a large saucepan and place over a high heat. Cover the pan and let the spinach steam, uncovering and stirring it occasionally, until it is completely wilted and cooked through, about 5 mins. Drain in the same colander and allow to cool. Once cooled, squeeze the moisture from handfuls of the spinach, then coarsely chop by hand. If using frozen spinach, just wring out the excess moisture.Cook the bacon over a medium heat in a shallow sauté pan, stirring occasionally to keep the pieces separate. Once the bacon has coloured nicely, take off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with kitchen paper. Pour off all but 1 tbsp of the bacon fat from the pan.Set a rack in the lowest level of the oven and preheat to 190˚C (gas mark 5).Place the pan on a medium heat and add the onion. Once it starts to sizzle, decrease the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onion is wilted and just beginning to colour, about 10 mins. Add the spinach and bacon to the pan and season with a little salt, several grindings of pepper, and a tiny pinch of nutmeg. Stir everything together until evenly combined.Scrape the mixture into a bowl and stir in the cream and grated cheese. Taste for seasoning. At this point, it should taste like well-seasoned creamed spinach. Add a little more salt and pepper if necessary. Whisk in the eggs one at a time. Scrape the filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly.Bake the tart until the crust is well coloured and baked through and the filling is set, about 35-40 mins. Cool the tart on a rack and unmould it. Slide it from the flan tin base to a serving plate to serve. Recipe taken from Bake! by Nick Malgieri (Kyle Cathie, £20) with photography by Quentin Bacon

QUICHE ESSENTIALS: SPINACH, MUSHROOM, BACON TART

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Chef's Tip: One of the tricks to making a good quiche is the proper balance of liquids in the recipe. There are a lot of places that liquids can hide, and ruin the dish. So, we are essentially going to precook our veggies, and remove as much hidden moisture as possible.
• 3. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place)
• 4. Place your pie crust in a tart pan, and blind bake in a 350f (175c) oven until it begins to brown, about 10 - 12 minutes.

• 11. Add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
• 12. Add the mushrooms, and cook until they soften and release their moisture, about 5 - 7 minutes.
• 13. Add the spinach, and continue to cook until most of the moisture has evaporated, about 3 - 5 minutes.
• 14. Take the skillet off the heat.
• 15. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
• 16. Grate the cheese.
• 17. Chef's Note: You could use different cheeses; however, some cheese get very oily when cooked. I choose Gruyère because it is very stable when heated, and it is a perfect complement to the other ingredients in this recipe.

• 23. PLATE/PRESENT
• 24. Serve while still nice and warm. Enjoy

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 10-inch tart pan and line it with the pastry. Keep it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
• Steam the spinach above an inch of boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, until wilted. You will probably have to do this in batches. I like to use a pasta pot with an insert for steaming spinach, as I can get a lot of it into the insert. Rinse briefly with cold water, squeeze out excess water and chop medium-fine.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it is tender and beginning to color, about 8 minutes. Add the spinach, thyme and salt and pepper to taste, and stir together. Remove from the heat.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add salt to taste (I use about 1/2 teaspoon) and whisk in the milk. Stir in the onion and spinach mixture and the cheeses. Scrape into the pastry-lined tart pan. Place in the oven and bake 40 to 45 minutes, until tart is set and beginning to color on the top. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or room temperature.

• Top each toast with slices of Raclette or Gruyère (about 1 ounce total on each toast). Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, not too close to the heat, until nicely browned. Alternatively, bake tartines 3 to 5 minutes on top shelf of a 450-degree oven, or individually in a countertop toaster oven. Serve hot.
