Peach and Chia Seed Frangipane Tart
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 egg yolk
- 3/4 cup ground almonds
- 6 tablespoons soft butter
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated cane sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 4 peaches
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt.
- Pulse to mix.
- Add the butter and egg yolk and pulse until the butter forms peas sized pieces with the flour.
- Place the crumbly dough into one 4-by-13-inch tart shell and gently press the dough against the bottom and walls of the pan.
- Make sure to evenly coat the sides while being careful to not compact the dough too much.
- Freeze the tart shell for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Prick the bottom of the tart crust a few times with a fork, line the bottom with a sheet of tin foil, and place pie weights onto the lined foil.
- Bake until the edges are lightly golden, about 20 minutes.
- Let the pastry crust cool on a wire rack.
- To prepare the filling, add the almonds to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
- Add the butter and sugar to the bowl and process until smooth.
- Then add the egg, reserved egg white, lemon zest, flour, cornstarch, salt and extracts.
- Pulse into an even consistency and fold in the chia seeds.
- Lower the oven temperature to 350.
- Remove the baking weights and tin foil from the tart pan.
- Spread the frangipane into the cooled shell.
- It should come up to just 1/4-inch in an even layer just below the top edge.
- Slice the peaches 1/8-inch thick and place them in neat bundles in a decorative pattern across the filling.
- Gently press the fruit into place.
- Place the tart on a baking sheet and bake until the crust and the frangipane filling are golden and have set, about 40 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Slice and serve with a sprinkling of a few chia seeds.
