Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3–4 tbsp ice water
- 2 cups sweet potatoes, diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a bowl or food processor, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add ice water gradually until dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Blind-Bake the shell: Roll out dough and place in a tart pan. Chill again for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Blind-bake for 15-20 minutes with weights, then remove weights and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until lightly golden.
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper; roast for 20-25 minutes until tender.
- Sauté aromatics: In a skillet, sauté onion in olive oil until translucent. Add garlic, herbs, and spices, cooking until fragrant.
- Make the filling: Whisk together eggs and cream; season. Fold in sweet potatoes, sautéed mixture, and goat cheese.
- Assemble and bake: Pour filling into the tart shell, topping with reserved goat cheese. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-45 minutes until set.
- Rest and serve: Allow tart to cool before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with a salad.
