Comme chez les Escure à Fontanges

Une recette de tarte au Cantal pour le soir, servie avec une bonne salade et un petit coup de vin des Côtes d'Auvergne; simple et convivial.
1 pie crust base
125 g (4.4 oz) of grated Cantal Fermier "entre-deux" cheese
2 very fresh eggs
125 g (4.4 oz) of thick farmhouse double cream
40 g (1.4 oz) of roasted walnuts, lightly crushed
freshly ground pepper
no salt

Step-by-step directions

1 Preheat the oven to 200°(th6/7)

2 Place your pie crust in your mold on parchment paper then fill with dry beans although for nearly 10 years now porcelain beads or stainless steel bead ribbons have replaced our beans, lentils etc (blind baking so the dough doesn't puff up) and pre-bake at medium heat for 15 minutes.

3 Meanwhile, mix the eggs beaten as for an omelet, the cream and the Cantal and give it a good grinding of pepper.

4 Remove the pre-baked tart from the oven, remove your beans and pour your Cantal mixture then scatter your walnut pieces.
Bake for 20 minutes at 200°(th6+) and enjoy this Cantal tart with friends on a winter evening.
