Strawberry Tart Recipe

"Recipe source: Sift magazine (Spring 2016) Original recipe calls for rye pie crust, but I thought any pie crust recipe will work - if you want the rye crust, just use 1/2 rye flour in the pie crust recipe or about 1 1/3 cups rye flour and the remainder white flour."

Brush surface with egg and bake util dough is golden brown (25-30 minutes), checking down way through for bubbles -- if there are any flatten them with a spatula. Cool completely on pan.

While crust is cooling combine the mascarpone and 2 tablespoons of he sugar. Hull the strawberries and cut into 1/4 inch slices.

Step 4

Move the cooled pie crust to a serving platter or board and spread the mascarpone over the top in an even layer. Dot with jam and then arrange the strawberries in a single, overlapping layer in a decorative pattern. Sprinkle the the remaining tablespoon of sugar, slice and serve immediately.
