Delicious Sorrel Tart Recipe

This sorrel tart features a buttery, flaky crust filled with a mixture of fresh sorrel, creamy goat cheese, and eggs. The result is a delightfully tangy and savory dish that is both light and satisfying.

Ingredients

• 1 pre-made pie crust or homemade tart crust
• 4 cups fresh sorrel, stems removed and roughly chopped
• 1 cup goat cheese, crumbled
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing sorrel

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: If using a homemade crust, roll it out and fit it into a tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 10 minutes until slightly golden. Let it cool.
3. Sauté the Sorrel: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped sorrel and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and thyme (if using). Stir in the sautéed sorrel and crumbled goat cheese.
5. Assemble the Tart: Pour the filling mixture into the pre-baked tart crust and spread it evenly.
6. Bake: Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
