Method
- Roll out the pastry sheet a little larger to line the tin base and up the sides. Prick the base with a fork. Chill the pastry case while the oven heats up to gas mark 6 or 200°C.
- Wash spinach and steam in a pan until wilted. Leave to drain in a colander. Sprinkle Parmesan over the pastry base. Spread artichokes and the well-drained spinach on top.
- Beat together the eggs and crème fraîche, or cream, and pour over the tart filling. Crumble the blue cheese on top.
- Cook tart, below the centre of oven, for 30 mins, until the pastry is golden and the filling set. Cut into slices. Serve hot or cold.
