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!
