Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 60 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
Number of servings: 6

Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 50 ml oil (choose sunflower oil or a combination with olive oil for a slightly different flavor)
- 250 ml yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt for a creamier texture)
- 300 g Dobrogea flour (or wheat flour, but Dobrogea flour provides excellent consistency)
- 1 packet baking powder
- 100 g boiled chicken (you can use breast or thigh, cut into cubes)
- 3 boiled eggs, cut into cubes
- 2 bunches of fresh wild garlic (if you can't find wild garlic, you can substitute it with spinach or green onions)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure the wild garlic is well washed and finely chopped. You can use a food processor to chop it quickly, but you can also chop it with a knife if you prefer.

2. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, beat the 2 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the oil and yogurt, mixing well until all the wet ingredients are combined. This mixture will give the tart a moist and rich texture.

3. Mixing the dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift the flour and baking powder. This step is important as it helps aerate the flour and achieve a fluffier tart. After mixing the flour with the baking powder, add the chopped wild garlic.

4. Combining the ingredients: Add the pieces of chicken and the cubed boiled eggs to the bowl with flour and wild garlic. Mix well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

5. Finalizing the dough: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix everything, being careful not to overmix. The dough should be homogeneous but not overmixed.

6. Baking: Prepare a baking tray and line it with baking paper. Pour the dough into the tray, leveling it with a spatula for an even surface. Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat) and bake the tart for about 60 minutes. Check if it is done by inserting a toothpick in the center – it should come out clean.

7. Cooling and serving: Once baked, let the tart cool slightly in the tray, then transfer it to a cooling rack. You can serve it warm or at room temperature. It is delicious alongside a fresh green salad or a yogurt sauce with dill.

Practical tips:
- If you want a more intense flavor, you can also add feta cheese or telemea to the mixture.
- This tart is perfect to be served on spring or summer days, alongside a glass of fresh lemonade or a dry white wine.
- You can experiment with various herbs, such as dill or parsley, to enhance the flavor.

Nutritional benefits:
Wild garlic is a plant rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and its consumption can help boost the immune system. Eggs and yogurt provide an important source of protein, while whole flour contributes to digestive health.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of greens instead of wild garlic? Yes, you can use spinach, green onions, or even nettles, depending on your preferences.
- How can I store the tart? The tart keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for 3-4 days. You can reheat it in the oven before serving.
- Is this recipe suitable for vegans? You can adapt the recipe using vegan eggs and plant-based yogurt, but the texture will be different.

In conclusion, wild garlic tart is a versatile and delicious recipe, perfect for celebrating spring. I encourage you to make it and enjoy every bite! Bon appétit!
