Preparation

Mix the spelt flour, wheat flour, egg, olive oil, water and salt. Form a ball and let it rest while you prepare the rest.

Wash the endives and cut them in half lengthwise.

Melt the butter and cane sugar in a pan over low heat. Add the endives and sauté them on one side for 5 minutes with a lid. Turn them over, then add the Herbes de Provence. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes on the other side.

Cut the Brie cheese into thin strips. Add a little olive oil to the bottom of a tarte dish. Place the endives in the bottom of the dish. Cover them with Brie cheese.

Roll out the pastry to a circle. Place the pastry on the endives. Fold the edges of the pastry towards the inside of the tarte dish. Bake for 30 minutes at 360°F.

Once the tarte tatin is baked, loosen the edges of the tarte by running a knife along the edge of the tarte dish. Place a plate on top of the tarte and flip it over.

Serve this tarte tatin with endives and Brie with a green salad.
