Spinach and Egg Tartlets
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 oz chopped frozen spinach thawed
- 2 large sheets of frozen filo pastry each 1 oz, thawed
- 1 large egg beaten
- 3 tbsp very low fat natural fromage frais
- 2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese
- pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- mixed salad leaves to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6. Tip the spinach into a sieve and press well to remove excess water, then pat dry with kitchen paper. Set aside.
- Lay the filo pastry sheets on top of one another and cut into 6 equal squares, to give you twelve in total. Line four 10 cm (4 in) square non-stick Yorkshire pudding tins with a single pastry square. Brush with a little beaten egg and lay another filo square on top at a different angle. Brush again and top with the remaining pastry squares, to form 4 tartlet shells.
- In a bowl, mix the remaining beaten egg with the fromage frais and 1 tbsp Parmesan. Stir in the spinach and sprinkle over the nutmeg. Season.
- Carefully spoon the spinach filling into the tartlet shells and sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 - 20 minutes or until the filling is set and the pastry is nicely browned. Serve immediately, accompanied by salad leaves.
