Cooking Steps
- In a small bowl, reserve 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) garlic spread to cook vegetables in step 3.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) pepper and 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar. Add remaining garlic spread. Then, using clean hands, toss to combine until mixture is crumbly but holds together when squeezed.
- Line an 8x8-inch metal baking dish with parchment, leaving overhang on two sides (use a 9x13-inch metal baking dish for four servings, with overhang on the two long sides).
- Transfer dough to prepared dish. Pat dough into the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides.
- Prick pastry crust all over bottom and sides with a fork.
- Bake crust in the bottom third of the oven until lightly golden, 16-22 min. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, quarter zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch quarter-moons.
- Thinly slice leeks. Using a strainer, rinse leeks to wash away any hidden dirt.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add reserved garlic spread, then swirl to melt. Add leeks and zucchini. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp.
- Remove from heat, then lightly season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in another large bowl, whisk together eggs and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt until smooth. Season with pepper.
- To the large bowl with eggs, add vegetables, then stir to combine.
- Pour vegetable mixture into parbaked pastry crust.
- Cut brie into 1/4-inch slices, then arrange over vegetable mixture.
- Bake in the bottom third of the oven until middle is set and edges are golden, 16-22 min.
- Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium.
- While the pan heats, line a plate with parchment paper. Measure 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Set aside.
- When hot, add almonds. Toast, stirring often, until light golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on almonds so they don't burn!)
- Add brown sugar and measured water. Cook for 30 sec-1 min, stirring often, until brown sugar melts. Remove from heat.
- Transfer to prepared plate. (NOTE: Almonds will be very hot.) Season with salt. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pear into 1/4-inch slices.
- In another large bowl, add vinegar, remaining garlic salt and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with pepper, then combine.
- Add pears and arugula and spinach mix. Just before serving, toss to combine.
- When tart is done, set aside to cool for at least 5 min.
- Cut brie-and-vegetable tart into slices, then divide between plates.
- Serve salad alongside.
- Sprinkle candied almonds over salad.
