Mini Tart

Today it is very hot. I don’t feel like cooking anything special, but we will have guests in the backyard. I will make a board with various cheeses, a nice prosciutto which I will purchase from a delicatessen shop, and I am thinking of other finger food which may go splendidly with wine. A tart! It can be prepared in a large tart mould and cut into cakes or as I made them, by using smaller moulds. I bought them in Milan, in Italy, from a delicatessen shop. I adore that shop. I can spend the whole day tasting or browsing through delicatessen Italian premium products. I feel like I'm in a library. I cannot wait to go there again. And it is certain that I will buy myself something. It is better to have a removable mould bottom so the tart can be easily taken out. The dough is the same for both savory or sweet recipes. It is much dependent on the filling. I love it in all its forms. And with this recipe one can be very decorative. Serve in a large plate with fresh arugula or basil. Extremely delicious!

Mini Tart

Ingredients:

  • 175g flour
  • 100g butter
  • 1 egg yolk

 

Filling:
  • 200g. pancetta, diced bacon
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 200ml. cooking cream
  • 200ml sour cream with 20% fat
  • salt
  • pepper
  • nutmeg

Preparation:

Knead the flour with the butter and yolk. Leave the dough in the fridge for half an hour. During this time, fry the bacon and put it on a napkin to absorb the fat. Beat the eggs, yolks, add the baking cream and sour cream. In a tart mould or mini moulds, grease with butter and coat with the dough. Cover with baking paper and add grains (beans, lentils ...) and bake for 15 minutes at 180 degrees. The grains are removed and the dough is poured over with the bacon and the liquid filling. Bake for another 20 minutes at 160 degrees and at the end sprinkle with grated Parmesan or yellow cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes.
