Tart Crust
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups cold, cut into small pieces
1 large egg
6 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon white vinegar
4 slices smoked bacon
Blue Cheese Filling
2 teaspoons whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 whole egg (large)
2 egg yolks
6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon black pepper

1
Cook the bacon until very crispy , and then crumble it into tiny pieces.
2
Mix together the flour, butter, egg, water, vinegar, and bacon bits. Do not worry about mixing the butter into the mix too much. (I use a heavy fork, but you can use a food processor).
3
Since this recipe makes more that you need, save the rest for another tart. You will need about 2/3 of this recipe.
4
Roll the dough to fit into an eleven inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press it evenly and up the sides of the tart pan.
5
Blind bake the crust at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.
6
For the Blue Cheese Filling: Mix together the milk,cream, egg ,egg yolks, blue cheese and pepper and pour into the crust.
7
Bake about 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees until set.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
