If you love pears, you surely haven't missed one of the most classic recipes in French pastry: the Bourdaloue tart! The addition of pears will allow you to finish your meal on a note that is both indulgent and fruity. A way to avoid feeling weighed down by a dessert that is too rich ;-) The combination of almonds (both ground and sliced) will add a slightly crunchy texture that gives this traditional recipe its charm.

Ingredients

• 1 pie crust
• 1/2 cup softened butter (100gr)
• 1/2 cup sugar (100gr)
• 1 cup almond flour (100 gr)
• 2 eggs
• 400 gr tinned pears
• almond flakes

Materials

• mixing bowl
• 11 inches tart pan
• oven

Preparation

• Line the tart pan with the pie crust. Prick the bottom.
• Mix the softened butter with the sugar. Then add the eggs and mix well. Finally, add the almond flour and mix.
• Pour this almond cream into the tart shell and smooth it with a spatula.
• Cut the pears in half, then slice them widthwise while keeping their original shape. Arrange them nicely on the almond cream.
• Sprinkle the visible cream with almond flakes.
• Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
• And there you have it, your almond pear tart is ready!

Observations

Using fresh pears: it's possible, just cook the peeled pears in boiling syrup (1 liter of water + 200 gr of sugar) for 15 minutes on low heat.
