Cuisine

The rich agricultural lands of the region have brought exquisite fruit desserts to Vienne cuisine. Similar to the 'Bourdaloue' style loved throughout France, this tart features local pears poached in light syrup placed over a delicate pastry crust.

Ingredients

  • Tart pastry (Pâte sablée)
  • Fresh local pears
  • Almond flour
  • Sugar and eggs
  • Butter

Preparation

  1. The tart dough is prepared, pressed into a tart pan, and pricked with a fork.
  2. Eggs, sugar, softened butter, and almond flour are whisked to make the frangipane cream.
  3. The cream is spread onto the pastry base, and sliced, lightly poached pears are arranged on top.
  4. It is baked in a preheated oven until golden brown and served warm.
