To make this Ginger and Pear Tart, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp ice water

For the filling:

- 4 ripe pears, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water and mix until the dough comes together.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter. Mix well and pour the mixture into the pre-baked tart crust. Brush the beaten egg over the edges of the crust.
Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown and the crust is cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
This Ginger and Pear Tart is a perfect dessert for any occasion. The combination of sweet pears and spicy ginger creates a unique and delicious flavor that is sure to impress. The crust is flaky and buttery, while the filling is juicy and flavorful. Serve this tart warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
