Ingredients:
– 1 cup chickpea flour
– 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
– 4 quail eggs
– 1 cup dandelion greens, chopped
– 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
– 1/4 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
– 1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and ground cumin until a smooth batter forms.
2. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray and divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. Use a spoon to press the batter up against the sides of the cups to form a tart shell.
3. Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
4. While the tarts are cooling, prepare the toppings. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the quail eggs until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped dandelion greens, crumbled feta, chopped cherry tomatoes, and chopped kalamata olives.
5. Once the tarts are cool enough to handle, spoon the dandelion green mixture into each cup, filling them about halfway. Then, pour the whisked quail eggs over the top of each cup, filling them to the brim.
6. Return the tarts to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the quail eggs are set and the edges of the tarts are golden brown.
7. Remove the tarts from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped dandelion greens and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
