Equipment

  • Tart Pan
  • skillet
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 1 medium Potimarron or butternut squash as a substitute
  • 2 medium Échalotes or yellow onions for a stronger flavor
  • 200 grams Comté cheese or Gruyère cheese as an alternative
  • 100 grams Walnuts or pecans/hazelnuts can be substituted
  • 3 large Eggs for a vegan option, consider a flax egg

For the Crust

  • 1 sheet Pâte feuilletée (Puff pastry) high-quality store-bought or homemade

Instructions

Instructions

  • Roll out your store-bought puff pastry or prepare homemade dough; carefully place it in a tart pan, ensuring it covers the sides evenly.
  • Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) while you prepare the filling to ensure it’s perfectly heated when your tart is ready to bake.
  • Clean, peel, and cut the potimarron into cubes. Steam the cubes until soft, about 10-15 minutes.
  • In a skillet, sauté the chopped shallots in butter over low heat until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked potimarron, caramelized shallots, beaten eggs, and shredded Comté. Stir until well blended and creamy.
  • Gently fold in the chopped walnuts into the mixture.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
  • Place your tart in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set in the middle.
  • Once out of the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Optional: Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche for a delightful addition.
