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
