Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup hazelnuts, toasted, loose skins rubbed off in a kitchen towel, and cooled
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 tart shell
3 firm-ripe Bosc or Anjou pears
1/4 cup apricot preserves, heated and strained

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Pulse hazelnuts with 1/4 cup sugar in a food processor until finely ground, then add flour and pulse to combine.
  • Beat together butter and remaining 1/4 cup sugar with an electric mixer at moderately high speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in extracts. Reduce speed to low and mix in nut mixture until just combined.
  • Spread frangipane filling evenly in tart shell. Peel, halve, and core pears, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, holding slices together to keep pear shape intact. Arrange pears decoratively on filling, fanning slices slightly. Bake until pears are golden and frangipane is puffed and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Brush pears (not filling) with preserves and cool tart completely in pan on rack, then remove side of pan.

HAZELNUT-CRUSTED PEAR & BRIE TART RECIPE BY TASTY



Hazelnut-Crusted Pear & Brie Tart Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: skin-on hazelnuts, buckwheat flour, fresh rosemary, maple syrup, kosher salt, unsalted butter, orange marmalade, brie cheese, pears

Provided by Mercedes Sandoval

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup skin-on hazelnuts
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 large sprig fresh rosemary
4 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
1 pinch kosher salt
¼ cup unsalted butter, 1/2 stick, cubed and chilled
3 tablespoons orange marmalade
4 oz brie cheese, thinly sliced
4 pears, cored and very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for about 8 minutes, until fragrant and browned. Let cool, then remove the skins by gently rubbing with a kitchen towel.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 400˚F (200˚C).
  • In a food processor, combine the buckwheat flour, hazelnuts, rosemary leaves, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and the salt. Pulse until the hazelnuts break down and the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • Add the butter and pulse to combine, until no large chunks of butter remain.
  • Press the crust into a 10-inch (25-cm) tart pan. Poke holes all over the bottom of the crust with a fork.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Spread the orange marmalade over the bottom of the warm crust. Arrange the brie slices evenly over the marmalade.
  • Shingle the pear slices neatly around the outside edge of the tart, packing them close together. Add a second layer around the outside edge, on top of the first layer. There should be a circle left in the center of the tart. Begin tucking pear slices horizontally, skin-side up, around the edge of the inner circle. Work toward the center, using smaller slices as the circle gets smaller (the thinner the better here, they will bend and not break!). Once you get to the very middle, tuck a few small slices into the center to fill in.
  • Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the remaining tablespoon of maple syrup over the pear slices.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, until the pears have softened.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Enjoy!
