Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt, then rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until the texture is sandy. Add the egg and 4 to 5 tablespoons of cold water, then bring together into a ball, cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- Fry the bacon in a pan over medium heat for 4 minutes, then add the onion and garlic for 3 minutes.
- Add the minced meats and brown them for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking them up, then deglaze with the Riesling and reduce by half over high heat.
- Off the heat, stir in the parsley, hard-boiled eggs, salt, pepper and nutmeg, then let the filling cool.
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Roll out two thirds of the pastry and line a buttered 26 cm tart tin, leaving the edges overhanging.
- Spread the filling, cover with the remaining pastry, seal the edges and make two steam vents in the centre. Brush with egg yolk.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool slightly or completely before slicing.
