This is a pear almond tart. I had something like this at a French Bistro on the Plaza and have always wanted to try to duplicate it at home. The custard, or Frangipane, is made of ground almonds, almond extract, sugar, rum, and eggs.
My first quiche! It is filled with onions, bacon, and swiss cheese. Grandma Frances would have been so proud of me - I even weighted the crust with beans and baked it before I filled it and finished it off in the oven. She may have even overlooked the fact that I did not use IMPORTED Swiss cheese.
Yum. By the way - Cooks Illustrated magazine has the best pie crust recipes ever.
