Are you looking for a quick and simple recipe that will impress at dinner but is also easy to make? The tart with just 3 eggs is the perfect solution! On an ordinary evening, when the responsibility of cooking fell on my shoulders, I discovered this surprising recipe, which turned out to be not only tasty but also very versatile. The idea of creating a tart with simple ingredients that I had on hand sparked my creativity, and that’s how I ended up sharing this delicacy with you!

Total preparation time: 50 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 35 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6 servings

Necessary ingredients:

- 3 fresh eggs
- 350 ml milk (preferably whole for a richer taste)
- 65 g flour (wheat flour is ideal)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (to help the tart rise)
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted or at room temperature)
- Salt, to taste
- 1 red onion (finely chopped)
- 55 g cheese (you can use feta, mozzarella, or any preferred type)
- 1 medium tomato (diced)
- 1 green pepper (diced)
- 1 teaspoon oregano (fresh or dried, for a delicate aroma)

Preparation of the egg tart:

1. Preheating the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 175 degrees Celsius. This step is essential to ensure even baking.

2. Preparing the mixture: In a large bowl, beat the 3 eggs with the milk until you get a homogeneous mixture. It is important to use fresh eggs to guarantee a better taste and a fine texture.

3. Adding dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt. This combination will help the tart to be fluffy and rise beautifully during baking. Mix the dry ingredients well before incorporating them into the egg and milk mixture.

4. Incorporating the butter: Add the melted butter to the egg and milk mixture. Make sure the butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs. Gently mix until there are no lumps.

5. Preparing the vegetables and cheese: While the mixture is being homogenized, chop the red onion, tomato, and pepper into small cubes. Do this carefully to achieve a tart with a pleasant texture. Crumble the chosen cheese and add it to the egg mixture.

6. Combining the ingredients: Add the chopped vegetables, crumbled cheese, and salt to the egg mixture. Mix everything well so that each ingredient is evenly distributed. This is where you can be creative: you can add olives, mushrooms, or even some spicy seasonings if you like a stronger flavor.

7. Preparing the baking dish: Grease a round baking dish with a little butter or oil and line it with baking paper if you are not using a silicone one. I opted for a silicone dish that does not require greasing, but a metal dish works just as well.

8. Baking: Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and ensure it is evenly distributed. Add a teaspoon of oregano on top for extra flavor. Place the dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for 35 minutes or until the tart is golden and firm to the touch.

9. Cooling and serving: After you take the tart out of the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes. This step helps to stabilize the texture. Cut the tart into slices and sprinkle a little fresh oregano on top for a final touch of freshness. You can serve the tart warm or cold, and I found it to be just as delicious in both versions!

Nutritional benefits:

- Eggs are an excellent source of protein and essential vitamins, contributing to bone and muscle health.
- Milk provides calcium and B vitamins, beneficial for energy metabolism.
- The vegetables used provide a rich supply of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making this tart not only tasty but also nutritious.

Tips and variations:

- You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or goat cheese, to achieve diverse flavors.
- Replace the vegetables with whatever you have on hand – zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms are excellent options.
- Add some fresh herbs like basil or parsley for a more intense flavor.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use plant-based milk?
Yes, you can replace cow's milk with almond or soy milk, but make sure to choose a sugar-free option to keep the recipe healthy.

2. What can I do with leftovers?
If you have leftover tart, you can store it in the fridge for 2-3 days. It is delicious cold, perfect for a quick breakfast or a lunch at the office.

3. Is this tart suitable for vegans?
For a vegan version, replace the eggs with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water (let sit for 10 minutes) and use plant-based milk.

Serving suggestions:

The tart pairs wonderfully with a fresh vegetable salad or a side of Greek yogurt, which will add a creamy and refreshing taste. Also, a glass of white wine or a well-chosen herbal tea can perfectly complement the meal.
