Cooking steps

1. We place the dough in a form greased with olive oil.

   Required ingredients:

   • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon

2. We cut a circle from paper equal to the diameter of our mold and place it on the dough.

3. Fill with beans and put in the fridge for 20 minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Garlic: 5 head

4. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the dough with beans for 20 minutes.

5. Then remove the paper and beans, poke the dough with a fork to ensure it doesn't rise, and back in the oven for 5 minutes — we need to take out the already baked tart base.

6. We are starting the longest process - peeling garlic.

7. Fill with water, bring to a boil, and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Remove the garlic and let it dry a bit. Pour out the water from the pot, add a little olive oil, and sauté the garlic for 2 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and water, bring to a boil, and simmer on low heat for another 10-15 minutes. Toss in rosemary, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and sugar. Now wait for the liquid in the pot to evaporate (if it evaporates before the garlic is done, you can add a little water).

   Required ingredients:

   • Water: 250 ml
   • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
   • Balsamic sauce: 1 teaspoon
   • Freshly chopped rosemary: 1 teaspoon
   • Chopped fresh thyme: 1 teaspoon
   • Salt:  to taste
   • Sugar: 0.8 tablespoon

8. We cut the cheese into small pieces and place it in the tart base, adding garlic as well.

   Required ingredients:

   • Goat cheese: 150 g
   • Garlic: 5 head

9. In a bowl, mix cream, sour cream, and eggs, adding 0.5 teaspoons of salt and a little black pepper.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cream 33%: 100 ml
   • Sour cream 35%: 120 g
   • Chicken egg: 2 pieces
   • Salt:  to taste
   • Ground black pepper:  to taste

10. Place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 35-45 minutes — check the color, it should be golden.
