Ingredients
- • whole wheat pastry dough: 1 sheet
- • ground lamb: 200g
- • fresh spinach: 2 cups, chopped
- • onion: 1 small, finely diced
- • garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- • eggs: 4, beaten
- • feta cheese: 1/2 cup, crumbled
- • za'atar: 2 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • salt and pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the whole wheat pastry dough and fit it into a tart pan, trimming any excess edges. Prick the base with a fork.
- 2 In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the ground lamb and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
- 3 Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from heat.
- 4 In a bowl, combine the beaten eggs with feta cheese and half of the za'atar. Add the lamb and spinach mixture and mix well.
- 5 Pour the filling into the prepared tart shell, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining za'atar on top.
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the edges of the tart are golden. Let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
- • This savory tart pairs beautifully with a fresh side salad of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers drizzled with a light lemon vinaigrette. For an added touch of freshness, garnish each slice with a handful of microgreens or a sprinkle of fresh parsley. For a complete breakfast experience, serve this tart with a refreshing glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a warm cup of herbal tea. The combination of citrus and herbs will complement the rich flavors of the lamb and za'atar, providing a harmonious balance to your meal.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, let the tart cool completely and then cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, cut the tart into slices and wrap each slice individually before placing in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes.
