Wine Tip
Sauvignon Blanc
The fresh aromas and acidity of a relatively young, dry Sauvignon Blanc make a perfect pairing. Such wines are often redolent of cut grass or green vegetables and go wonderfully with the roasted vegetables in the tart.
Step 1
Sift flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Add butter in small pieces. Working quickly, combine the dough into coarse crumbs. Add cold water and form into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap, transfer to refrigerator, and let rest for approx. 30 – 60 min.

In the meantime, cut mozzarella into small cubes and grate Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses. Mix cheeses with sour cream and salt. Season to taste with pepper, smoked paprika and nutmeg. Set aside until needed.
