    Folks, not only is this oven baked tomato cheese spinach filo tart recipe absolutely delicious, but it's great when you're short on time.

    Just 15 minutes prep and then 15 minutes in the oven and you'll soon be tearing into this!

    It uses hardly any ingredients, so it's kind on the wallet.

    Just spinach, filo pastry, tomatoes and goats cheese. A tasty simple combination made in heaven!

    Also, this filo tart recipe is really versatile.

    I think you'll understand why, when I tell you that I spent nearly 20 minutes trying to figure out what recipe category to put this into!  

    It's great for just about any meal!

    Breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner the choice is yours.

    I mean it could be dinner for 2 and that's where I eventually decided the recipe category to put it into. Dinner.

    Then again you could easily make this as a sharing recipe. One for guests to tear bits off and enjoy? A bit like a pizza substitute?

    Whatever you choose. You'll love it!

    Tips To Make This Tomato Cheese and Spinach Filo Tart Recipe

    • Use ready rolled filo pastry sheets. You could use puff pastry but filo pastry is healthier.
    • Don't worry if your filo sheets hang over the edge of your baking tray. Just trim off the excess around the edges.
    • I find its easiest to microwave the spinach. It just takes less time to cook that way.
    • Use cherry tomatoes rather than normal tomatoes. Their sweetness contrasts with the tart taste of the goats cheese.

    Equipment

    • Baking tray
    • Kitchen scale
    • Chopping board
    • Kitchen knives
    • Grater
    • Pastry brush
    • Measuring spoons

    Ingredients

    • Low fat cooking spray
    • 6 sheets of filo pastry
    • 1 tablespoon milk
    • 180 g baby spinach
    • 250 g cherry tomatoes chopped
    • 80 g hard goats’ cheese grated
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • Pre-heat oven to 200C fan.
    • Lightly spray a baking sheet / tray with the cooking spray.
    • Lay the first sheet of filo pastry onto the baking sheet / tray, spray it lightly with the cooking spray, then place the second sheet on top, spray that lightly and repeat the process until all the sheets are done.
    • Brush the milk around the edge of the filo pastry sheets.
    • Microwave / cook the baby spinach as per the bag’s instructions and then drain it thoroughly. My preferred way of doing this is by putting the spinach in a sieve and pressing the water out of it by using the back of a spoon.
    • Distribute the spinach evenly over the top of the pastry then make a layer of the cherry tomatoes.
    • Crumble and sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
    • Season with salt and pepper.
    • Cook in the centre of your oven for 10 to 15 minutes until cheese is bubbling. Remove and serve.

      I love goat cheese, and I can only imagine how tasty it is on this tart! I make a summer tart with gruyere and asparagus, but I'm thinking I need to mix it up. Tomatoes + goat cheese is an excellent combo! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you can get that grill out soon, Neil! Maybe this weekend?? 🙂

        Gruyere and asparagus would be an amazing combination on filo tart. I must try that David, thanks for the idea! We are hopefully getting the BBQ out at my brothers tomorrow. It's been beautiful here the last couple of days but there might be a change tomorrow.......rain. Which would be typical. Ha ha!

      Yup, assigning a recipe to a specific category can be challenging sometimes. But you're right: no matter when you choo to enjoy this savoury tart, it won't disappoint you (I bet some people will have an extra slice instead of dessert haha). Beautiful combination of flavours; so fresh and perfect for summer.

        Thanks Ben. Yes the recipe category I struggled with but I didn't have any problems in deciding now was the right time to publish the recipe. What with it being summer and the weather actually being amazing here for a change! I hope yours is too and you guys have an amazing weekend.

      This looks gorgeously good!! I wish I could eat this because I have a feeling I'd wolf the whole thing. Actually, it's probably good that I can't - LOL!

        Yes unfortunately I know that you won't be able to have this as its not gluten free. Sorry about that GiGi! I'll need to think of something that uses the delicious combination of toppings that you can have.

      It's only very recently that I started to use fillo pastry. I was really scared of it but now I love it. So flaky and much less buttery than puff pastry 😀

        It can be a bit scary to use at first can't it Kankana, just because its so thin. But a few tries with it and you become and expert in no time! Thanks for your comment! 🙂

      I love the idea of these ingredients on filo, Nei! What a great idea! I agree, this could go in any category. I’d certainly eat it all day long! So much flavor!

      Neil, a wonderful flavor combination and I love the texture of the phyllo crust! Is there a "dinner for one" category because I want one of these all for myself!

        Hey Kelly that's a great idea! I should do a "dinner for one" category shouldn't I? Mind you I'd be tempted to move all my cheesecakes into that category and eat them all as "cheesecakes for one"! 😆
