Method

1
Mix the flour and cold fat in the bowl of a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and mix quickly into a smooth dough. Press the dough with floured hands onto the bottom and sides of a tart pan (⌀ 26 cm). Place the crust in the refrigerator for a moment.
2
Line the edges of the crust with strips of aluminum foil to support them and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake on the lower rack of a 200-degree oven for about 15 minutes.
3
Wash and peel the beetroots. Grate the beetroots in a food processor using a medium grating disc.
4
Mix together the sour cream, eggs, apple cider vinegar, thyme, and black pepper. Stir the grated beetroot into the sour cream mixture.
5
Remove the foil strips from the par-baked tart crust. Pour the filling into the crust. Crumble the blue cheese on top.
6
Continue baking on the lower rack of a 200-degree oven for about 50 minutes. Cover the surface with foil towards the end of baking if it seems to be browning too much. Serve the beetroot tart lukewarm with a fresh green salad.
