This Blueberry Amandine Tart is a French-inspired dessert that consists of a buttery shortcrust pastry filled with juicy blueberries and an almond cream. The almond cream is made with ground almonds, butter, sugar, and eggs which create a sweet and nutty paste when baked. The tart is best served warm or at room temperature, and it's perfect for any special occasion or dessert table. The flaky and buttery crust combines with the sweet and tangy blueberries and the crunchy nutty topping creates a symphony of flavors and textures.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	Unroll the shortcrust pastry and fit it into a 9-inch tart tin. Pierce the bottom with a fork several times.
3.	In a food processor, combine sugar, almonds, and salt. Mix until the almonds are finely ground. Add butter and pulse until it forms a paste.
4.	Add eggs and pulse just until the mixture is smooth.
5.	Spread the blueberries over the bottom of the tart. Pour the almond mixture over the berries. Sprinkle slivered almonds over the tart.
6.	Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown and set. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
