CHOCOLATE PEAR HAZELNUT TART
As a teenage foreign exchange student in the south of France, I was horribly homesick. Then my host family's Grandmother Miette arrived and asked if I'd like to help her bake this nutty tart from scratch. It turned my trip around and inspired my lifelong passion for baking. Weighing ingredients, roasting nuts, kneading dough-the art of baking transcends language. -Lexi McKeown, Los Angeles, California

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
- To make the tart crust extra crispy, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate instead. Just trim the excess dough around the edges.
- To prevent the chocolate ganache from seizing, make sure the cream is hot but not boiling when you add it to the chocolate.
- For a smoother ganache, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it onto the tart.
- Toasted hazelnuts add a nice crunchy texture to the tart. You can toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
