Easy Peach Tart


This tart is so easy to prepare that it becomes our regular snack (we alternate between savoury quiche and sweet tart) on train when we travel out of Lausanne.


Ingredients:

150 g half cream
1 egg
1 envelope vanilla sugar (13 g)
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 tablespoon corn flour
Canned peach slices (I rinse away the syrup)
1 sheet of 32 cm pre-made pie crust (pate a gateau)


Method:

1. Press your pie crust against a 28 cm round baking pan. By using your kitchen scissors, cut the excess crust.
2. Prick a few times on your crust using a fork.
3. Arrange the peach slices on your crust.
4. Mix the rest of the ingredients (half cream, egg, vanilla sugar, lemon zest and corn flour) in a bowl. Pour mixture onto your pie crust. The egg-cream mixture will cover your peach slices.
5. Bake in preheated oven of 220 degrees Celsius for 35-40 minutes.


1. You may replace peach with apple or any other fruit that seems suitable.
2. Do not forget about the lemon zest. The fresh taste of lemon certainly tempts you to have another slice.
