Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 75 grams almond meal (almond flour)
- 2 medium ripe pears
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 piece store-bought tart shell (9-inch) or homemade tart crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). If using a homemade tart crust, blind bake it and let it cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it becomes a deep golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it. Once browned, remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground ginger. Add the eggs and whisk until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Slowly add the slightly cooled brown butter into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and almond meal until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Peel, core, and slice the pears thinly. Toss the slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Pour the brown butter mixture into the prepared tart shell, spreading it evenly.
Arrange the pear slices on top of the filling in a decorative pattern of your choice, slightly overlapping them.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
