Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
~5 min - 2
Unroll the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 12 equal squares. Press each square into a muffin cup, creating a small tart shell.
~10 min - 3
Wash and roughly chop the dandelion greens and spinach.
~5 min - 4
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
~6 min - 5
Add the chopped greens to the pan with the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
~5 min - 6
Crumble the feta cheese into a mixing bowl. Add the wilted greens mixture.
~2 min - 7
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the greens and feta, and gently stir to combine.
~5 min - 8
Spoon the filling evenly into the puff pastry shells in the muffin tin.
~5 min - 9
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the filling is set.
~25 min - 10
Let the tartlets cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Drizzle with honey just before serving.

Tips
- For an even more authentic Greek flavor, consider using a mix of wild greens if available, such as horta vrasta. Ensure they are well-washed.
- These tartlets can be made ahead of time and reheated gently in a moderate oven. They are also delicious served at room temperature.
