carrot pie with apple and goat cheese

 here's a breakfast dish we enjoyed at dinner last night.  

take 8 carrots and boil for 8 minutes.  halve lengthwise.  

grease a 9" removable bottom tart pan.

 slice a tart apple and an onion (or half a large onion).

on a floured surface, roll out room temperature puff pastry.  

press into tart pan, cover, and put in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour.  

preheat the oven to 350 F.

 place apples and onions into pan, with carrots arranged in a spoke shape on top.  

in a bowl, combine 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of carrot juice with 3 eggs and 1/2 cup creme fraiche (i used full-fat sour cream instead).  salt and pepper.  

then crumble 4 oz of goat cheese between the carrot spokes.  add egg mixture.

 serve with salad in the evening, fresh berries in the morning.  

i put cinnamon, sugar, and extra sliced apples with a little butter in the remnants of the dough, and rolled them up and baked them, too.  happy children.
