Spinach and Arugula Tartlets
Reminiscent of spanikopita, but brightened with peppery arugula, these scrumptious bites will please your crowd.
Ingredients
- 1 T olive oil
- ½ small onion finely diced
- 8 oz fresh baby spinach
- 3 oz arugula
- 1 large clove garlic minced
- ¼ t dried dill
- 2 T freshly grated Parmesan cheese plus additional for grating
- ½ tub ~3 oz Boursin cheese (or cream cheese)
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- good pinch kosher salt
- couple grinds freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ t lemon zest
- ½ t fresh lemon juice
- 2 boxes mini fillo frozen pre-made tarts shells 30 shells
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Saute the onion and garlic for ~30 sec in the olive oil. Add the spinach and arugula; saute until the greens are very wilted and yummy. Put the greens in a kitchen towel and squeeze out the water (using kitchen tongs helps because it's still hot). Put the greens on a cutting board and chop well.
- Combine the greens with the remaining ingredients except the fillo shells. Spoon the filling into the shells. Bake at 400F for about 10-15 minutes until cooked through (listen for little sizzles and it's done). Serve with additional parmesan grated over. Makes 30 tarlets.
