3 chicory heads
Salt
1 apple
1 pear

100 g grated cheese (e.g., Bergkäse)
1 tsp freshly chopped rosemary

50 g chopped walnuts

Instructions

1.
Knead the flour with salt, walnuts, cocoa, egg yolk and small pieces of butter quickly. If needed add a little cold water to make the dough smooth but not sticky. Wrap in cling film and chill for about 30 minutes.
2.
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Butter the tart pan.
3.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and line the pan with it.
4.
Wash the chicory, cut lengthwise, remove stems and slice into strips. Blanch in boiling salted water for about 1 minute, then drain, shock, and let dry well. Peel and quarter the apple and pear, remove cores and dice small.
5.
Cube the Roquefort as well. Whisk the eggs with cream and crème fraîche, then mix in the remaining prepared ingredients plus rosemary and grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper and pour the mixture over the dough, smoothing it out and sprinkling walnuts on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
