Easy & Delicious Prosciutto, Brie and Spinach Tart
Whenever my family comes to visit, I always feel like I have to provide gourmet meals. This is ridiculous since they’d honestly be happy with a grilled cheese. But to me, cooking is how I show my love! I enjoy spending hours searching for the perfect recipe for them and trying to find the right meal to serve.
When my parents came for brunch this past weekend, I decided it would be the perfect time to break out my old tart pan. You know, the one that I bought 5 years ago in the hopes I’d become a master tart-maker, and never used? Yeah. That one.
I wanted a recipe that would be savory and light, but would still provide the buttery-flakiness of a good crust. With the weather finally warming up, I felt inspired to try a Prosciutto-based tart to help provide the salty and savory taste I so desired, and pair it with the fresh taste of spinach, and the creaminess of brie.
I was a bit nervous having never attempted tarts before, but this easy & straightforward recipe was delicious and definitely a crowd-pleaser. Paired with a simple side salad to break up the heaviness of the custard, the entire meal was a success!
If you are looking for a tasty brunch recipe, that will have your friends and family wanting more, this is it!
