How to choose the best ingredients for Spring Onion Tart

Cherry tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes work best for their sweetness and juiciness, but you can also use other small tomato varieties. If needed, regular tomatoes cut into pieces or slices will work as well.

Spinach: Use young spinach leaves—they’re tender and don’t require removing thick stems. If using mature spinach, trim the stems to avoid a fibrous texture.

Arugula: Arugula adds a slightly peppery, bold flavor. Choose a milder or more intense variety depending on your preference.

Eggs: Large eggs (size L) are recommended. If using smaller eggs, simply add one or two more to maintain the right consistency.

Crème fraîche: You can substitute crème fraîche with sour cream or Greek yogurt. Each option will slightly change the texture and tanginess, but all work well.

Single cream: Single cream (about 18% fat) creates a lighter filling, while heavier cream will give a richer, more indulgent result. Choose based on your preference.

Cheddar cheese: Cheddar adds a sharp, distinctive flavor that enhances the tart. You can also use other hard cheeses—slightly stronger varieties work best to avoid a bland taste.

Wholegrain mustard: Wholegrain mustard adds depth and a subtle tang. If using regular mustard, use a bit less, as it tends to be stronger.

Spring onions: Spring onions add a fresh, mild onion flavor. If you don’t have them, chives make a great substitute.

Tarragon: Fresh tarragon gives the best aroma and a delicate herbal note. Dried tarragon can be used if fresh isn’t available—just use a smaller amount.

Tips and Tricks for Spring Onion Tart

• Cover the tart with aluminum foil during the final baking to prevent it from burning too much.
• You can have the shortcrust pastry frozen. I usually make 4 servings; thanks to that, I always have something quick and delicious.
• Spring onion always uses the ends of the bulbs with roots to plant chives at home and always has them within reach.
