Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 75 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 150 milliliters Heavy cream
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 100 grams Fresh arugula
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes (optional, for garnish)
• 20 grams Parmesan cheese shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

To make the tart crust, combine the flour and diced butter in a bowl. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk and cold water to the flour mixture. Mix gently until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a 9-inch tart tin. Trim any excess dough around the edges.

Step 5

Prick the base of the tart with a fork, line it with parchment paper, and fill it with baking weights or dried beans. Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment, then bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the grated Parmesan, heavy cream, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture into the pre-baked tart shell.

Step 7

Bake the tart for 20-25 minutes until the filling is set and lightly golden on top. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing.

Step 8

For the arugula salad, toss the fresh arugula with lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

To assemble, serve a slice of Parmesan tart with a generous handful of arugula salad on the side. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and Parmesan shavings if desired.

Step 10

Enjoy your elegant Parmesan Tart with Arugula Salad!
