Preparation method
Preparing the dough
In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the cold cubed butter along with a pinch of salt. Quickly rub with your fingers until you get a sandy texture, then add one egg and knead briefly until the dough comes together into a smooth ball. Wrap it in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
Preparing the filling and assembly
Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a bowl, whisk the remaining 2 eggs together with the sour cream, dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and place it into a round tart pan, pricking the base with a fork. Crumble the blue cheese over the base and sprinkle the coarsely chopped walnuts, keeping a few whole halves for decoration.
Chef's tip
For an even more intense flavor, you can lightly toast the walnuts in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the tart.
If the dough seems too dry when kneading, add 1-2 tablespoons of very cold water to bring it together perfectly.
