Orange flower-goat cheese tart with pomegranate glaze Recipe eeejo
- 8 oz. unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- Zest of 2 oranges
- 2 TB honey, preferably orange blossom
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp orange flower water
- 1 cup chevre, room temperature
- 1/2 cup strained Greek-style yogurt
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 TB honey, preferably orange blossom
- Move a rack to the center of your oven and preheat to 350 .
- Melt the 8 oz.
- of butter in a small saucepan, remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp vanilla.
- Add flour, stir together until just combined and let sit for a moment to firm up.
- Press into a 9" fluted tart pan with a removable bottom: I usually start with the fluted edges, pressing the dough firmly into the corners, and then scatter the remaining dough across the center of the tart and smoothing it out.
- Put in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to set the dough firmly, then bake for 15-20 minutes, til well-browned (undercooked tart crust is so icky).
- Cool to room temperature and turn the oven down to 325 .
- Meanwhile, in this order (Alice says the order makes a difference, and I believe her): whisk together your 3 eggs, then add 1/4 cup sugar, 1/8 tsp salt, orange zest, 2 TB honey, 1/2 tsp vanilla and orange flower water.
- When combined, add chevre and yogurt and whisk until smooth.
- Pour into your cooled tart shell and bake in the center of the oven for 35-40 minutes, until firm at the edges but still a little jiggly in the center.
- Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, cook the pomegranate juice and 1 TB honey in a small saucepan until reduced by half, syrupy and tart.
- Cool in the fridge til pourable and room temperature.
- When the tart has cooled, gently pour the pomegranate glaze over the the surface, a little bit at a time (you might not use it all).
