Spinach Tart



Recipe by Daniel Myers

This recipe has earned a gold star in my personal cookbook. Not only is it a vegetable dish that most people seem to like, it travels well in a cooler, it can be served cold, and it's tidy enough to be eaten without utensils. Best of all, with a couple of changes it becomes incredibly easy to make and still retains its medieval flavor.


Ingredients

1/2 pound spinach, washed and chopped
1/2 cup parsley
6 eggs
2 cups mozzarella, grated
1/2 cup parmesan, grated
1 tsp. chervil
1 tsp. fennel
1 tsp. powder fine



Method

Wash spinach and parsley, and chop them well. Beat eggs in a large bowl, add greens and remaining ingredients, and mix well. Pour into pie crust and bake at 350°F until firm - about an hour.
