Ingredients

• all-purpose flour
• butter, cold and cubed
• sugar
• goat cheese
• honey
• dried culinary lavender
• egg
• salt

Kitchen Tools

• food processor
• tart pan
• mixing bowl
• measuring cups and spoons

Preparation

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a food processor, combine the flour, cold cubed butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add in 1 tablespoon of dried lavender and continue to pulse until the dough comes together.

Press the dough into a tart pan, making sure it is evenly distributed along the base and edges. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine goat cheese, honey, and the remaining tablespoon of dried lavender. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Remove the tart pan from the refrigerator and fill the crust with the goat cheese mixture. Brush the edges of the tart with a beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.

Tips

For an extra pop of flavor, sprinkle some additional dried lavender on top of the tart before serving. This will enhance the floral notes and add a beautiful visual element to the dish.

Serving

Once the tart has cooled slightly, slice it into wedges and serve either warm or at room temperature. This tart pairs wonderfully with a crisp glass of white wine or a fruity herbal tea.
