Versatile tart recipe
basic sacoury tart can be jazzed up with your own additions!
Difficulty Level: easy
Ingredients
- Butter 200g
- Flour 200-300g
- Water
- Eggs 4
- Cream 100ml
- Cheese- a combination of soft and hard goats cheese works best though other cheeses may be added to suit your taste
- any additional ingredients
Instructions
Form breadcrumbs by rubbing together in a bowl the butter and flour with your hands, add a few tablespoons of water to this fairly crumbly mixture and mix with a knife until a floury dough is formed. The dough should but be wet like cake mix though not too dry that it falls apart, it should hold together in a ball; this is the shortcrust pastry.
Roll out the pastry and place into a circular dish, make pricks in the bottom of it with a fork and lay some baking paper over the top, put some dry beans or lentils on top of this and pre-bake the pastry for about 10/15 mins on about 200 degrees c until slightly golden.
Take the baking sheet and lentils/weighty dry goods off the pastry and put the various cut up cheeses and your other ingredients onto the pre baked base. Pour over a whisked mix of the eggs and cream and bake in the oven for a further 25 minutes 🙂
As for extra toppings, i have tried caramelised onion and garlic (fried or roasted with honey or sugar until sticky) roasted tomato and spinach, and a particular favourite is sweet potato and red onion. This is a typically veggy recipe though i suppose bacon would work with certain cheeses 🙂
