Name: Prosciutto, Pear, Mascarpone & Red Onion Tart
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 recipe All Buttah Pie Crust (https://food52.com/recipes... mix the butter until it resembles roughly the size of peas; 3/4 cup mascarpone cheese; 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced; 2 pears, cored and cut into 8 wedges (I like to leave the skin on, but you can peel if you like!); 8 ounces prosciutto; egg wash, as needed; 2 to 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Servings: persons

1
Preheat the oven to 425u00b0 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Roll out half of the pie crust to about 1/8-inch thick. Try to maintain a square-ish shape while you roll. Use a straightedge and a knife to cut the ragged ends off of the dough: You're aiming for a 9-inch square.
3
Gently roll the dough up onto the rolling pin and unfurl over the prepared baking sheet. Chill the dough on the baking sheet in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling, 5 to 10 minutes.
4
In a small bowl, whisk the mascarpone, Herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper to combine. Dollop the mixture in the center of the chilled pie crust, and spread evenly across the crust, leaving about 1 inch on all edges uncovered.
5
Arrange the red onion, pear slices, and prosciutto on top of the mascarpone. Gently fold the exposed crust pieces over to encase the filling a bit.
6
Brush any exposed crust with egg wash. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the crust. Bake the tart until the crust is very golden, the prosciutto is crisp, and the pears are very tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

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

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
