Ingredients
Polenta crust
- 3 cups vegetable stock or broth can use chicken stock or broth
- 1 cup polenta or cornmeal
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
Creamed spinach
- 2 bags of 6oz. baby spinach
- 2 oz. light cream cheese
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- a few grinds black pepper
Instructions
Polenta crust
- Preheat your oven to 400-degree Fahrenheit and proceed to the next step.
- Let your vegetable or chicken stock simmer in a medium saucepan. Put a little salt if so desired.
- Stir the broth gently and slowly pour in the cornmeal or polenta.
- Continue to simmer with you stirring the mixture regularly for about 15-20 minutes. Make a paste with very thick consistency until it’s almost solid to the feel.
- Mix in the parmesan cheese and stir gently.
- When the mixture is okay, gently pour it into 10-inch tart spring-form pan.
- Bake the polenta mixture for about 10 minutes and let it cool by putting in your fridge’s chiller.
Creamed spinach and assembling
- Put large pan over medium flame and pour olive oil or coat it cooking spray. Add then the spinach, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Let the spinach wilt which would take for about 3-5 minutes.
- Take the lid off and mix in the cream cheese until it is blended evenly. Allow the excess moisture to evaporate, and then remove from the heat.
- Get your baked polenta crust and press down the mid-section. This will create a notch that will allow your crust to be raised just around the edge.
- Now, pour the creamed spinach into the indention then top it with parmesan cheese.
- Put the tart into the oven and bake for around 10-15 minutes for 400-degree Fahrenheit.

Notes
At any of these points, you could chill the crust or tart in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and then proceed or reheat before serving in the oven or microwave. Chilling will ensure that it firms up to slice cleanly.
