	1 jar Sweet Vidalia Onion Pesto 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1-inch pieces 2 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 1/2 cup cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoon cold water 6 large eggs 11 ounces goat cheese, softened 2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper 2 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (for Tart Filling) 1 teaspoon teaspoon kosher salt (for Tart Filling) Preheat oven 400° In the bowl of a food processor add flour, salt and cheese. Pulse the mixture until combined. With the motor running, add the butter in pieces until the mixture is crumbly. Add the water and process just until the dough comes together, about 10 seconds. Turn out dough onto a floured surface and cut into thirds. Roll each piece of dough into a 12-inch cylinder. Line a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom with the first piece and line the sides with the additional pieces. With a sharp knife, scrape off any excess dough from the edge of the tart pan. With the heel of your hand, press in the dough from the center to the edges until the bottom is evenly covered, about Ľ inch thick.. Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is lightly golden in color. Remove from the oven and cool. Tart Filling In a food processor combine eggs, goat cheese, pesto, Parmigiano-Reggiano, thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth and thick. Pour the mixture into a prepared tart shell. Be careful not to overfill. Bake until the top of the tart is brown and bubbly, about 20-25 minutes. The tart will continue to cook once it’s removed from the oven. Cool slightly before serving.
