PEAR-HAZELNUT TART



Pear-Hazelnut Tart image

The topping for this yummy pear tart is quite sweet so I only add very little sugar to the pastry but you can make the tart with regular sweet shortcrust pastry if you like.

Time 2h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
1 large egg
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon cold water
1 pinch salt
½ cup hazelnuts
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
¼ cup heavy cream
1 large egg
2 large pears - peeled, cored, and sliced

Steps:

  • Grease an 8-inch tart pan.
  • Combine 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, butter, egg, sugar, water, and salt in a large bowl. Quickly knead into a smooth dough. Place in a container with a lid and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. The pastry needs to be firm enough to be rolled out.
  • Roll out chilled pastry on a floured work surface and fit into the prepared tart pan. Shape an edge and prick the pastry several times with a fork. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Cover the pastry with parchment paper and fill with dry beans or pastry weights. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Leave the oven on.
  • Meanwhile, roast hazelnuts in a dry skillet over low heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, allow to cool, and chop coarsely.
  • Beat butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add cream and beat until well combined. Mix in egg and beat until batter is smooth. Spread onto the pastry. Arrange pear slices in an overlapping pattern on top of the cream and scatter hazelnuts on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until topping has set and is lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use ripe pears. They will be sweeter and have a more tender texture.
  • To make the hazelnut crust, you can use either whole hazelnuts or hazelnut flour. If you are using whole hazelnuts, you will need to toast them before grinding them into flour.
  • When assembling the tart, make sure to press the pears into the crust firmly. This will help to prevent them from sliding around when the tart is baked.
  • Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender. The baking time may vary depending on the type of pears you are using.
  • Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. It can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of honey.

Conclusion:

This hazelnut-crusted pear and brie tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and savory flavors, this tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this tart a try. You won't be disappointed!
