Blueberry Tarte
- 1 sheet commercial or homemade puff pastry, slightly thawed
- 3 pints blueberries
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups light cream
- Serving suggestions: Whipped cream, creme anglaise, or vanilla ice cream
- Special equipment: 4 (4-inch) tart shells
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Roll out the puff pastry to a uniform thickness.
- Cut out 4 rounds about 7 inches across.
- Fit the puff pastry into the tart shells.
- Trim the excess pastry, line the tart shells with aluminum foil, and weight the pastry with pie weights or rice.
- Bake the shells until golden brown at the edges, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the weights and foil and bake until the bottom of the shells are dry, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Set the tarts aside to cool.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of brandy.
- Spoon the blueberries into the tart shells.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the cream and the remaining brandy.
- Spoon the custard over the blueberries.
- (Keep in mind that the custard will expand slightly as it cooks so fill the shells to just below the crust edge.)
- Bake the tarts until the custard is set and lightly browned, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
- Serve the tarts with whipped cream, creme anglaise or vanilla ice cream.
