A hearty cake for autumn! Serves 6

For the shortcrust pastry, knead the room-temperature ingredients into a smooth ball and chill for about 30 minutes. Cut the bacon into thin strips and wash, peel, and slice the pears. Mix the cream cheese with the cornstarch and the remaining eggs. Season with salt, pepper, and a little nutmeg. Line a greased springform pan or tart pan (approx. 28 cm in diameter) with the rolled-out pastry and slightly raise the edges. Prick the base several times with a fork. Arrange the pear slices and bacon on the base and pour the cheese and egg mixture over it. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm or cold. Serve with lamb’s lettuce and cranberries.
