2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Preparation
01Heat oven to 400°F.

Place strips on edge of tart. Slide the tart with parchment onto a baking sheet then prick it inside the border several times with a fork.

06While pastry cooks, cook bacon until just crisp in a nonstick skillet. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon, leaving the fat in the pan.
