Spinach and Feta Puff Pastry Breakfast Tart

Ingredients

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Using a rolling pin, lightly roll out the puff pastry to approximately 11x11, cut in half.

Transfer to previously lined baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the filling.

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet; add spinach and garlic and cook for 2 minutes, or until spinach is wilted. Stir frequently.

Stir in the crumbled feta and continue to cook for 30 seconds; remove from heat and set aside.

Take the puff pastry out of the oven and using a fork or a spoon, deflate the center of the puff pastry, leaving about a 1-1/2 inch puffed-up border on all sides.

Divide up the filling and add it to the center of both pastries.

Make a well in the center of the filling and crack an egg inside of the well.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the puff pastry is a nice golden brown.

Remove from oven and let stand about 3 minutes.

Sprinkle with a bit of salt and fresh ground pepper.

Cut each pastry into 4 wedges.

Serve with a side of plain yogurt.

These Granola Breakfast Tarts with Sautéed Apples + Coconut Yogurt,

It’s an incredible breakfast treat that’s so good; you’ll think its dessert! The granola crust is spread with creamy dairy-free coconut yogurt and topped with cinnamon sautéed apples. This gluten-free, paleo and vegan breakfast is the perfect morning breakfast, or to make any morning more special.

Adapted from here as I am not making my own granola.

Ingredients

For the granola crust

2 cups of prepared gluten free granola

2/3 cup of gluten free flour

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ cup coconut oil solid

For the filling + apple pie topping

1⅓ cups coconut yogurt or other thick yogurt of your choice

1 cup of sliced peeled apples

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple pie spice

2 tablespoons pecans toasted and chopped

¼ vanilla bean powder or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Prepare four small tart pans by greasing lightly with coconut oil. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granola, salt and cinnamon. Add the coconut oil and using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your hands, work the coconut oil into the mixture until it comes together into a course meal with no dry flour remaining.

Divide the granola crust evenly between the four prepared tart pans and use a flat-bottomed measuring cup or glass to press the crust evenly along the bottom and up the sides of the pans.

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until firm to the touch and browned. Let cool completely. Store in the fridge until ready to eat.

When ready to eat, prepare the sautéed apples. In a medium pan, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, pecans, vanilla bean powder, and salt. Sauté for 6-8 minutes or until apples are slightly softened but still crunchy (or until they’re all soft - whatever your preference is).

Immediately before serving, top each tart with ⅓ cup coconut yogurt. Top with sautéed apples. Crown with an extra whole pecan Enjoy!
