This is one of my favorite recipes with endives: endive tarte tatin! The tatin-style cooking softens the bitterness of the endives and makes them very tender. To make it even more tasty, I added some brie cheese. This is delicious ! Here is my recipe for Endive and Brie Tarte Tatin.

Recipe for the shortcrust pastry with rye and olive oil

For this recipe, I made a homemade shortcrust pastry with rye and olive oil. However, you can definitely use classic shortcrust pastry or even puff pastry.

This shortcrust pastry recipe with rye in olive oil goes particularly well with this endive and brie tarte tatin. Rye flour has a very pleasant nutty taste. However, its taste is also more pronounced than that of traditional wheat flour and therefore it must be accompanied with foods that have a lot of taste, which is the case with endives.

Endive and Brie Tarte Tatin

Ingredients

  • 150 g of all-purpose wheat flour
  • 100 g of whole grain rye flour
  • 1 egg
  • 60 ml olive oil
  • 50 ml of water
  • 3 g of salt

Preparation

In a bowl, mix the two flours and the salt. Add the egg and olive oil. Then mix by adding the water little by little.

Knead the dough for a few minutes, then form a ball. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let stand while you prepare the rest.

  1. It would be nice to have US equivalents to the metrics measures offered in this recipe. Hoping that I was able to recalculate accurately.
