Has anyone a recipe please for creamy smoked salmon and dill tart ?

Here is one ...... = )





Salmon and dill tart





PASTRY





1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour


Pinch of kosher salt


1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled


5 tablespoons ice water





FILLING


4 green onions


1/4 cup fresh dill


1 cup heavy cream


2 large egg yolks


1 large egg


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper


1/4 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon or smoked salmon trout, cut into 1/2-inch strips





MAKE THE PASTRY: In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle on the ice water and toss with a fork to evenly moisten. Pat it into a disk. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.





Preheat the oven to 350掳. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry out to a 13-inch round about 1/8 inch thick. Fold the round in half and transfer it to an 11-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Unfold the pastry and gently press it into the pan without stretching. Trim off any overhanging pastry and refrigerate the shell for 30 minutes.





Line the pastry shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the edge starts to brown. Remove the foil and weights and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes longer. Turn the oven down to 325掳.





MAKE THE FILLING: Cut the green onion into half inch pieces. In a medium bowl, whisk the cream with the egg yolks and whole egg and season with the salt and pepper. Scatter the green onion pieces, the chopped dill, and the smoked salmon strips in the pastry shell. Carefully pour the custard into the shell and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the custard is set. Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly before unmolding and serving.Has anyone a recipe please for creamy smoked salmon and dill tart ?

I mix my smoked salmon with cream cheese, dill and lemon juice, then use the filling in crustless sandwiches. it's very good and a lot easier than making a tart.
