Cured Pork and Fruit Tart

Cured Pork and Fruit Tart
This tart is my go-to when I want to impress guests or simply treat myself to something special. The combination of cured pork and fresh fruit creates a unique flavor profile that's both savory and slightly sweet. The addition of creaminess ties everything together beautifully. It's versatile enough for a fancy dinner party or a relaxed evening in. Every bite is a delightful exploration of textures and tastes
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) grated aged cheese, such as West Bothnia cheese
  • 1 pound (450g) cured pork, diced
  • 10 tablespoons (150g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) cold water
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) crème fraiche
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh fruit of your choice (such as apples, pears, or berries)
Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 250g (2 3/4 cups) of flour, a pinch of salt, and 125ml (1/2 cup) of cold water. Mix until a dough forms.

3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 3mm (1/8 inch).

5. Transfer the dough to a 23cm (9-inch) tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim the edges and press the dough into the corners.

6. Whisk together 250ml (1 cup) of heavy cream, 125ml (1/2 cup) of crème fraiche, and 2 eggs in a separate bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Spread the cream mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 2.5cm (1-inch) border around the edges.

8. Arrange 120g (4 oz) of diced cured pork and 150g (1 cup) of fresh fruit on top of the cream mixture, leaving some space between each piece.

9. Sprinkle 60g (2 oz) of grated aged cheese over the filling.

10. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a crust.

11. Bake the tart for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.

12. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
