Preparation steps
1.
To make the pastry mix together the flour, sugar and a pinch of salt. Pile onto the work surface and create a well in the middle. Crack the egg into the well and add the butter around the edges. Quickly knead together into a smooth dough, shape into a ball, wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes in the fridge.
2.
Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C in a fan oven), 350°F, gas 4 and grease a tart dish with butter.
3.
Roll out the pastry on a floured work surface and place in the prepared tart dish creating an edge all the way round.
4.
To make the topping mix together the quark, blue cheese, egg yolk, icing sugar, calvados and the cornflour. Spread thinly onto the tart base and top with the apple and turnip slices. Finally, brush with the melted butter.
5.
Bake for around 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Garnish with mint and serve warm.
