Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the oil on medium heat and lightly sauté the sliced fennel till golden brown.
- Preheat fan oven to 170℃/330℉ (non-fan 190℃/375℉), and roll out the pastry.**
- Grease a 9-inch tart case and line with the pastry, pressing down gently, ensuring it comes up just over the sides. Using a fork, make holes in the base of the pastry, then cover with parchment paper and baking beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove parchment paper and baking beans.
- Turn down the oven to fan 150℃/300℉ (non-fan 170℃/330℉), and bake for a further 10 minutes to dry out the damp areas.
- Allow to cool before covering the pastry with a layer of sliced Comté cheese.
- Cover the cheese with the browned slices of fennel till fully covered.
- Turn up the oven to fan 170℃/330℉ (non-fan 190℃/375℉) and bake the tart for 10 minutes till cheese has melted.
- Remove from the oven, and garnish with grated mature Comté and snippets of fennel herbs, cut from the fronds. Serve the tart warm or at room temperature
