  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together until smooth. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Add the grated Irish cheddar cheese and the sautéed spinach mixture to the egg and cream mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared pastry crust and spread it out evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tart is set and golden brown on top.
  • Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with extra grated cheese or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

If you're using frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and drain it well to avoid excess moisture in the tart filling.
