I love cheese, especially cheese with strong taste. Goat cheese is one of my favorite and it pairs very well with spinach. My family enjoyed to eat this spinach and goat cheese tart with salad on the side to have a complete dinner.
This is a veggie pie, but on mine, I put some left over ham.
Tip: From experience, to prevent the pie crust collapsing during the cooking, I prefer to put the pie pan with the pie crust into the fridge a few minutes before I add the filling, so the edge of the pie crust hardens.

- 1 pie crust sheet
- 1 lb (16oz) frozen chopped spinach

- Meanwhile, mash cheese with a fork in a bowl.
- Squeeze the spinach well in your hands to remove any water.

- Sprinkle raisins and cover with cheese, salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the cream, flavor with nutmeg and pour into the pie.
