Method

Step 1 of 3

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Roll out the pastry on a floured work surface, and use to line the tart tin. Trim away the excess, line the pastry shell with greaseproof paper, and fill with ceramic baking beans. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the edges are golden. Remove the beans and paper, brush the bottom of the shell with a little of the egg wash, and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes to crisp. Remove from the oven, and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C.

Step 2 of 3

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, and sweat gently for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, and cook for a few more seconds until the garlic turns white. Spoon the mixture into the pastry shell.

Step 3 of 3

Put the spinach and watercress in a food processor, and pulse a couple of times until broken up but not mushy. Pour in the cream and the 2 eggs, and pulse again until everything is combined. Season well with salt and black pepper, and pulse once more. Carefully pour into the pastry shell, sprinkle over the nutmeg, and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until set. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before releasing from the tin. Serve with boiled or steamed new potatoes and a fresh tomato salad.
