Ingredients
- 1 Pre-made Pie Crust
- 4 Eggs
- 4 oz Prosciutto
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Gruyère or Parmesan Cheese
- Fresh Herbs (Basil, Thyme, or Chives)
- Optional: Sautéed Vegetables (Mushrooms, Spinach, or Peppers)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Crust: Fit the pie crust into a tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Par-bake for 10 minutes.
- Sauté the Prosciutto: Cook the prosciutto in a skillet until crispy; remove and set aside.
- Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, cheese, and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Tart: Crumble the prosciutto over the crust, add optional vegetables, and pour the egg mixture over it.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Let the tart rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
For added flavor, consider nutmeg or chili flakes. Cover crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
