Instructions:
1. Preparing the Tart Crust:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to mix.
Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice water.
Pour this mixture into the food processor and pulse until the dough just starts to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it into a ball.
Flatten it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your tart pan. Press it into the pan and trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
2. Baking the Tart Crust:
Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
Bake the crust for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the parchment paper and weights and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the bottom is cooked through and golden.
3. Preparing the Filling:
While the tart crust cools, mix the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract in a bowl until well combined.
4. Assembling the Breakfast Berry Tart:
Once the tart crust has completely cooled, spread the Greek yogurt mixture evenly over the crust.
Arrange the fresh mixed berries on top of the yogurt filling, creating an artistic display.
Drizzle honey over the berries for a touch of sweetness and a glossy finish.
5. Final Touches:
Garnish your breakfast berry tart with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and flavor.
Slice and serve immediately, savoring each bite of this exquisite breakfast treat.
This Breakfast Berry Tart is a delightful fusion of textures and flavors, with the buttery, flaky crust serving as the perfect canvas for the creamy yogurt and vibrant berries.
The honey adds a touch of sweetness that ties it all together.
