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

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
- Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for about 8 minutes, until fragrant and browned. Let cool, then remove the skins by gently rubbing with a kitchen towel.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400˚F (200˚C).
- In a food processor, combine the buckwheat flour, hazelnuts, rosemary leaves, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and the salt. Pulse until the hazelnuts break down and the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
- Add the butter and pulse to combine, until no large chunks of butter remain.
- Press the crust into a 10-inch (25-cm) tart pan. Poke holes all over the bottom of the crust with a fork.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375˚F (190˚C).
- Spread the orange marmalade over the bottom of the warm crust. Arrange the brie slices evenly over the marmalade.
- Shingle the pear slices neatly around the outside edge of the tart, packing them close together. Add a second layer around the outside edge, on top of the first layer. There should be a circle left in the center of the tart. Begin tucking pear slices horizontally, skin-side up, around the edge of the inner circle. Work toward the center, using smaller slices as the circle gets smaller (the thinner the better here, they will bend and not break!). Once you get to the very middle, tuck a few small slices into the center to fill in.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the remaining tablespoon of maple syrup over the pear slices.
- Bake for 40 minutes, until the pears have softened.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Enjoy!

The topping for this yummy pear tart is quite sweet so I only add very little sugar to the pastry but you can make the tart with regular sweet shortcrust pastry if you like.

HAZELNUT, PEAR AND CARDAMOM TART
This is an elegant alternative to the holiday parade of sugary pies. Cardamom adds a grown-up twist to the classic combination of hazelnut and pear. (Don't overdo the spice, however, or your dessert will taste more like a cold remedy than a treat.) Cut corners by pressing out the crust, but don't skip making your own roasted hazelnut meal: The deep, caramel flavor of toasted nuts is worth the labor. Use ripe pears, or poach harder fruit until tender before adding to the tart.

Steps:
- Prepare the Shortcut Pie Crust through Step 3.
- When ready to make the pie, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Roast the hazelnuts on a baking sheet until evenly browned and skins are loosened, 25 to 30 minutes. While they are still warm, rub them together in a dish towel to remove the skins. Cool the skinned hazelnuts, and then blitz them to a fine meal with the flour in the food processor. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
- Crush the cardamom pods and retrieve the seeds, discarding the pods, then crush the seeds to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle.
- In a food processor, cream the butter, granulated sugar and crushed cardamom until pale and fluffy. With the machine running, add eggs one at a time, emulsifying each one fully before adding the next, and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer to the bowl with the hazelnut meal and stir to combine. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- While the frangipane chills, shape and bake the crust: Working over an 11-inch fluted tart pan, prepare the Shortcut Pie Crust through Step 4, then chill, at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days. (This can be done ahead.)
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the chilled crust until just-cooked but not browned, about 15 minutes. (The crust will continue to cook while the tart bakes, so expect it to darken in color when it bakes the second time.) Cool completely.
- Scoop the hazelnut frangipane into the crust. (Don't try to spread it; it will distribute itself evenly as it cooks.) Nestle the pears into the frangipane, tucking some underneath the frangipane and leaving others on top.
- Bake on a baking sheet until the frangipane is fully set in the center and the crust is golden brown, 75 to 90 minutes. Cool on a wire rack completely, then remove from the pan and serve with crème fraîche.

Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Place large sheet of parchment paper on work surface. Place crust dough atop parchment; roll out dough to 14-inch round. Transfer parchment with dough to large unrimmed baking sheet. Whisk egg and cream in small bowl. Brush center 10 inches of dough with some of egg glaze, leaving 2-inch plain border. Arrange pear slices in concentric circles atop glaze on dough. Sprinkle hazelnuts and both chocolates, then 4 tablespoons raw sugar over pears. Fold dough border over filling to form 11-inch round, pleating loosely and pinching to seal any cracks in dough. Brush crust with egg glaze; sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons raw sugar, then with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, if desired.
- Bake crostata until crust is deep golden and pears are tender, about 40 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to rack. Run long thin knife under crust to free from parchment. Cool to lukewarm on parchment on sheet. Using large tart pan bottom as aid, transfer crostata to platter. Serve lukewarm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- For the best results, use ripe pears that are firm but not too soft.
- To easily peel the pears, use a vegetable peeler.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the hazelnuts by hand.
- Be careful not to overcook the tart crust, as it can become dry and crumbly.
- To prevent the chocolate ganache from seizing, make sure the cream is hot but not boiling when you add it to the chocolate.
Conclusion:
This chocolate pear hazelnut tart is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pears, rich chocolate, and crunchy hazelnuts is simply irresistible. With its creamy ganache filling and flaky crust, this tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
