Chard, Apple and Swiss Cheese Tart

chard apple and swiss cheese tart

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 180°c
  • Grease one large or five individual tartlet pans for an entree size
  • Line with pastry then baking paper and weights (uncooked rice works well) and prepare to blind bake for 15 mins
  • Remove the weights and baking paper and cook a further 4-5 minutes until crisp and golden
  • Remove and set aside
  • In a large sauté pan, heat up your olive oil
  • Add in leek and garlic and cook until they are both tender
  • Add in the white wine and chard
  • Stir
  • Add in a dash of salt, pepper, and some nutmeg
  • Cook down until all the chard has wilted and most of your liquid has evaporated
  • Set the mixture aside
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together your eggs, coconut milk, evaporated milk, cornflower and a little over half of the cheese that you have grated
  • Add some salt and pepper to your egg mixture and whisk again
  • Fill up your cooled tartlet crusts with the chard mixture, add slices of apple to the top
  • Lightly press your filling down with a spoon and then pour the custard over the top of each tartlet
  • Top the tartlets with the remaining portion of cheese so that a nice crust will form while baking
  • Sprinkle a little more nutmeg on top and pop them in the oven
  • Bake at 190°c for 25 minutes, or until the tarts become a lovely golden brown
  • Allow them to cool slightly before serving
