Steps:
- Crust: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together flours, salt, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Stir in oil and water, then knead until a ball forms. Roll out dough into a 12-inch round and fit it into a 9 1/2-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim any excess length. Prick bottom all over with a fork and bake until crust is golden brown and crisp, about 35 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
- Filling: Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Place spinach in a large pot (if spinach is dry, add 1/4 cup water) and cover. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain. When cool enough to handle, wrap in a kitchen towel and squeeze to remove excess water. Coarsely chop and transfer to a bowl. Wipe pot dry and heat oil over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic, and red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until shallot is softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer to bowl with spinach. Add feta, eggs, and salt; stir until combined.
- Pour filling into crust and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake tart until just set, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with red-pepper flakes.

Steps:
- In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 5 minutes. Add the garlic, stir and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook until wilted and tender, 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, taste and season with salt and pepper as needed; let cool.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the ricotta, 2 eggs, the thyme and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold the cooled vegetable mixture and the olives into the ricotta mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry until it's 12 inches square. Using a 12-inch plate or just eyeballing it, cut the dough into a circle (knead the scraps into a ball and save for another use-cheddar straws, say). Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon the tart filling into the center, leaving a 2-inch border of pastry. Lift the pastry edges and fold over the filling, creasing the dough as needed and leaving the filling exposed in the middle. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush a thin layer of the egg wash on the exposed pastry, taking care not to let egg run down the sides to the pan.
- Bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
PAUL MCCARTNEY'S SPINACH TART
This recipe was featured in a magazine recently. It is from his new Meat Free Monday Cookbook. It is just lovely as it is. The only thing I changed was to use fat free half and half instead of cream. I will submit it with that change so I have the updated nutritional values.

MUSHROOM AND SPINACH TART WITH CRACKER CRUST
I enjoy flaky pie crust but sometimes I need a little change. The crust is made of whole wheat flour, flax seeds, and poppy seeds, which adds a nice crunch to the creamy spinach and mushroom filling.

SPINACH AND ONION TART
This is a classic combination for a quiche, but it's lighter, with a whole-wheat and olive oil crust. If you don't have the time to make the crust, store bought will work just fine.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 10-inch tart pan and line it with the pastry. Keep it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Steam the spinach above an inch of boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, until wilted. You will probably have to do this in batches. I like to use a pasta pot with an insert for steaming spinach, as I can get a lot of it into the insert. Rinse briefly with cold water, squeeze out excess water and chop medium-fine.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it is tender and beginning to color, about 8 minutes. Add the spinach, thyme and salt and pepper to taste, and stir together. Remove from the heat.
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add salt to taste (I use about 1/2 teaspoon) and whisk in the milk. Stir in the onion and spinach mixture and the cheeses. Scrape into the pastry-lined tart pan. Place in the oven and bake 40 to 45 minutes, until tart is set and beginning to color on the top. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or room temperature.

Tips:
- Prepare the dough ahead of time: You can make the dough up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the tart.
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach will give your tart the best flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
- Don't overcook the spinach: The spinach should be wilted but still bright green. Overcooking will make it mushy.
- Use a variety of cheeses: The combination of Parmesan, ricotta, and mozzarella cheeses gives this tart a rich and flavorful filling.
- Don't skimp on the olive oil: The olive oil in the crust and filling helps to keep the tart moist and flavorful.
- Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown: This will ensure that the tart is cooked through.
- Let the tart cool before slicing: This will help to prevent the filling from running out.
Conclusion:
This spinach tart with olive oil cracker crust is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The flaky crust, creamy filling, and fresh spinach make this tart a winner. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this tart is sure to be a hit.
