A Quick and Easy Tart, with tomato, cheese, and spinach filling for dinner
Ever wonder how something as simple as a tart became a worldwide favorite? These flaky, buttery creations have been stealing hearts for centuries. Tarts started as a fancy treat for royalty in medieval Europe, but over time, they became a go-to comfort food for everyone. Why? Because they’re versatile, easy to make, and, let’s be honest, downright delicious.
Think of tarts as the cool cousin of pizza—crispy pastry instead of dough, and endless options for toppings. Whether it’s loaded with veggies, oozing with cheese, or even topped with fruits for dessert, there’s a tart for every mood and meal. And the best part? They’re not just tasty, they’re secretly healthy, too. You can pack in your favorite veggies, lean proteins, or even whole-grain crusts if you’re feeling extra wholesome. But let’s not overthink it; tarts are here for the fun and flavor. Ready to make one?
