★★★★½ (4.7)

  • Par-baking the crust guarantees a crisp bottom instead of a soggy one
  • Precise doneness cues keep the custard silky and crack-free
  • Can be made a full day ahead since it needs a long chill anyway
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • +11 more ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs
  1. Make the crust: In a food processor or large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.

Continue simmering until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon.

Rest the dish for five minutes before serving with your favorite side.
