One of my favorite foods is the Greek speciality, spanakopita. Wishing to make the flavors of spanakopita easy to create in my kitchen (without the fuss of phyllo dough), I came up with this tart. I love the combination of earthy spinach, verdant dill, salty feta, wholesome eggs, as well as the undertones of turmeric. I added the latter ingredient after I had read that turmeric is good for your heart and also mixes well with eggs. I am glad it is healthy but I am even more glad it gives a nice layer of flavor to the tart. I make this for brunch parties but it is also an easy weekday dinner (and I often have most of the ingredients at home). This tart really tastes like sunshine; it reminds me of the warmth of the blue skies in Santorini. For this reason, I think it is the perfect late winter tart. It provides a wonderful escape from gray skies, when we are all craving a bit more Vitamin D.
