Steps:
- Make the crust: On a lightly floured work surface, roll pate brisee into a 14-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off excess flour; fit dough into an 11-inch-round tart pan with a removable bottom. Fold edges toward center to reinforce; press into sides of tart pan. Prick bottom of tart shell all over with the tines of a fork. Cover with plastic wrap; chill tart shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Uncover and line chilled tart shell with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Transfer to oven and bake until crust is set in pan, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove weights and parchment and continue baking until bottom of crust is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Brush crust with egg white and let stand 5 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, and salt. Pour filling into cooled tart shell; transfer to oven and bake until slightly set, about 15 minutes.
- Make the topping: Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt; using a pastry blender or your hands, mix in butter until mixture is crumbly. Add pecan halves and mix to combine.
- Remove tart from oven and reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Sprinkle topping over filling and return tart to oven; bake until topping is dark golden-brown and center is bubbling slightly, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool. Serve with whipped cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of the butter and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar with the flour and pinch into moist crumbs. Stir in the pecans.

BOURBON PUMPKIN TART WITH WALNUT STREUSEL
Made this for Thanksgiving 2005. Excellent recipe! The fact that this is a tart recipe takes away the stress of making a perfect pie crust, since tart pastry is much more forgiving. We also LOVED LOVED LOVED the streusel on top of this! Excellent!!! From Fine Cooking magazine. (PS: Note that this tart is much better if it sits overnight.)

Steps:
- Make the tart crust: Using a mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the flour, sugar, orange zest and salt in a large bowl on low speed for about 30 seconds.
- Add the butter and combine on low speed until the mixture looks crumbly, with pieces of butter about the size of dried peas, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and cream, mixing on low speed, until the dough is just combined.
- If the dough is too dry to come together, add more cream a tablespoon at a time.
- Gently mold the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk and wrap in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or for up to a week; the dough can also be frozen for up to a month.
- Make the filling:.
- Spoon the pumpkin into a large bowl.
- Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated. Add both sugars, the flour, spices and salt. Whisk about 30 seconds. Whisk in the cream and bourbon. Set aside.
- Make the topping:.
- Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse briefly to mix.
- Add the butter and pulse until the butter has blended into the dry ingredients and the mixture is crumbly. Remove the blade and stir in the walnuts and crystallized ginger.
- Assemble the tart:.
- Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 degrees F.
- Take the tart dough from the refrigerator and let it warm up until pliable, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Unwrap the dough and set it on a lightly floured work surface. With as few passes of the rolling pin as possible, roll the disk into a 13-inch round, about 3/16-inch thick. Drape the round into a 10-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, gently fitting it into the contours of the pan. Fold the excess dough into the sides of the pan and press to create an edge that's flush with the top of the pan and about 1/2-inch thick.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the unbaked tart crust.
- Scatter the streusel mixture evenly over the unbaked pumpkin filling.
- Bake until the topping is evenly cooked and no longer looks wet in the center, 50-65 minutes.
- Let the tart cool on a rack for at least 2 hours before serving, or, after it cools, wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight; before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
- Serve warm, at room temperature, or slightly chilled, with lightly sweetened whipped cream if you like.

BOURBON PUMPKIN TART WITH PECAN STREUSEL
Steps:
- Make crust: Whisk flour, sugar, orange zest, and salt in bowl of stand mixer. Using paddle attachment on low, cut in butter until the mixture looks crumbly, with pieces of butter about size of dried peas. Add egg and cream, mixing on low until the dough is just combined. If dough is too dry to come together, add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time. Gently mold the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 1 week. Make filling: Spoon pumpkin into large bowl. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated. Add both sugars, flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Whisk for about 30 seconds. Whisk in the heavy cream and bourbon. Make streusel topping: Combine the flour, both sugars, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse briefly to mix. Add butter and pulse until blended into the dry ingredients and mixture is crumbly. Remove blade and stir in the pecans. Assemble and bake: Position a rack in the middle of oven and heat to 350 F. Take the tart dough from the refrigerator and let it warm up until pliable, 5 to 15 minutes. Unwrap the dough and set it on a lightly floured work surface. With as few passes of the rolling pin as possible, roll the disk into a 13" round about 3/16" thick. Drape the round into an 11" fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Fold excess dough into the sides of pan and press to create an edge that's flush with top of the pan and about 1/2" thick. Pour filling into the crust. Scatter the streusel topping evenly over the filling. Bake until the topping is evenly cooked and it no longer looks wet in center, 50 to 65 minutes. Let tart cool on wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving (or, once it has completely cooled, wrap it in plastic and refrigerate overnight; before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours). Serve warm, at room temperature, or slightly chilled, with whipped cream.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin or use canned pumpkin puree.
- Be sure to chill the tart dough before baking. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking.
- Don't overmix the streusel topping. Overmixing will make the streusel tough.
- Bake the tart until the streusel topping is golden brown and the center of the tart is set.
- Let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
This bourbon pumpkin tart with pecan streusel is a delicious and easy-to-make fall dessert. The creamy pumpkin filling is perfectly complemented by the crunchy pecan streusel topping. This tart is sure to be a hit at your next holiday gathering.
