Mon Petit Déjeuner - Pear Cranberry Almond Tart

Even since I start baking, Sunday become the most exciting day of the week. Which mean I get to try all sort of recipe I had in mind during the week made them and get my family to taste testing. Most of the times I will make savoury breakfast like big breakfast, Baked egg or open sandwich etc. But you know some day you just feel like something sweet for breakfast like pancake or Danish pastry. And this Sunday I was craving for tart. 
To be honest, even though I love baking a lot, but when it comes to making tart or pastry, those require couple of hours work in kitchen, I’m not as keen to make it. So I found this Pear tart a very easy way of satisfy my craving for tart. I also got these very stereotype imagine of pear. I think pear is belongs to tart for some reason, they just seem like a perfect match. The crunchy tart shell with soft, tender and sweet pear work out in a perfect balance.

Hope you enjoy this loving Pear Cranberry Almond tart with a couple of coffee in a sunny day like I do. Which I was lucky enough today that once I finish my breakfast, it was thunderstorm and hailstone at the same time which is crazy.

P.S. Wish you all have a wonderful St Patrick’s Day tomorrow.
