Elevate your culinary experience with this exquisite tart, where a delightfully crunchy cracker crust embraces a creamy, savory filling of earthy mushrooms and vibrant spinach. A harmonious blend of textures and flavors that's both comforting and sophisticated.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, flax seeds, poppy seeds, and salt. Rub in olive oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water until a pliable dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough and press it into an 11-inch tart pan. Use a fork to prick holes across the base.
Bake in the preheated oven until the crust appears dry and lightly golden, approximately 15 minutes.
While the crust bakes, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Drain the spinach thoroughly and allow it to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze out any excess water and roughly chop.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Add sliced mushrooms and continue to sauté until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl.
In the bowl with the mushroom mixture, combine the chopped spinach, sour cream, feta cheese, egg, dried marjoram, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Spread the spinach and mushroom filling evenly over the pre-baked tart crust.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake the tart until the filling is set and lightly golden brown, about 50 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
