Ingredients

  • 1 c all-purpose flour
  • ½ c butter
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 Tbsp cold water
  • 2 ½ c heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 6 slices of thick cut bacon
  • 6 ounce log of plain goat cheese, sliced into ½ inch discs
  • 1 t fresh rosemary, chopped
  • salt & pepper

Directions

  • Prepare crust.  You can do this the day before.  Combine flour, butter, and salt either with a pastry cutter or in a food processor until you have pea-sized balls of butter.  Add water one Tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until slightly moist. 
  • Using your hands, shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, slightly flatten into a disc, and refrigerate for at least two hours.
  • When ready to assemble, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Roll dough on a floured surface to a size appropriate for an 11″ tart pan.  Press into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan.  Refrigerate again for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet on medium-high heat cook bacon until crispy.  Drain, chop, and set aside.
  • Whisk together eggs and heavy cream. Mix in chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Distribute bacon evenly on the prepared crust, and pour egg mixture over it. Top with goat cheese. 
  • Cook on bottom rack of oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the center is just set.
  • Enjoy!
