Savory Sweet Potato, Spinach, and Cottage Cheese Tart

Ingredients

• 400 g Cooked sweet potatoes (Approximately 2–2.5 medium sweet potatoes; they should be cooked and ready to mash.)
• 250 g Low-fat cottage cheese
• 100 g Sliced mushrooms
• 50 g Diced red bell pepper
• 50 g Diced red onion
• 100 g Spinach (Approximately 3 packed cups.)
• 4 Large eggs
• 30 g Grated Parmesan (Approximately 1/3 cup, for topping.)
• Salt (To taste.)
• Sweet paprika (To taste.)
• Black pepper (To taste.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Prepare a round, ovenproof dish; you can line it or lightly grease it to make removing the tart easier.

2. 2

   Place the cooked sweet potatoes in a large bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher until relatively smooth.

3. 3

   Press the sweet potato mash into the bottom of the round dish, spreading it into a compact, even layer to form the tart base.

4. 4

   Add the eggs, cottage cheese, sliced mushrooms, red bell pepper, red onion, and spinach to the bowl.

5. 5

   Season the mixture with salt, paprika, and black pepper to taste. Stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the egg and cheese coat the vegetables.

6. 6

   Pour the filling over the sweet potato base and spread it with a spatula so it is level.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the entire surface.

8. 8

   Bake at 180 °C for 35 minutes, until the center is set and the surface is golden. Carefully remove the dish, let it rest briefly, and cut into four portions.
