Ingredients
At Oliviers&Co
Virgin walnut oil
The Classic olive oil
Balsamic vinegar of Modena Silver quality
At the market
1 shortcrust pastry
100g of white cheese
2 small pears
80g of Auvergne blue
30g walnuts
Mesclun
Fresh thyme
Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Place the shortcrust pastry on a cold baking tray, keeping the baking paper, and prick it with a fork.
Once the oven is hot, place it in the oven to precook the dough for about 5 to 10 minutes.
In a bowl, mix the fromage blanc with 2 sprigs of stripped thyme, 1 tbsp. olive oil, salt and pepper.
Wash the pears and cut them into very thin slices. Cut the Auvergne blue cheese into small pieces. Cut the nuts into large pieces. Reserve.
As soon as the base of the tart is golden, remove the tray from the oven and spread the fromage blanc mixture over the pastry, leaving a small centimeter of edge free. Spread the rest of the ingredients on top.
Return the pie to the oven for about 10 minutes to finish cooking. The dough should be golden brown.
When it comes out of the oven, sprinkle the tart with 1 tbsp. walnut oil. Serve with a mixed greens salad dressed with walnut oil and balsamic vinegar.
