Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour and sugar in food processor. Add butter and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, 10-20 seconds. With machine running, add egg mixture through feeding tube. Pulse until dough holds together without being wet or sticky. Form dough into ball; flatten into disc and wrap in plastic. Chill at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350. On floured board, roll dough into 12" circle. Place in 9" tart pan. Cut off excess, leaving about 1/2" dough above edge of pan. Chill 30 minutes. Bake 30-35 minutes. Cool.
Preheat oven to 325. In small saucepan, bring cream and milk to a boil. Place chocolate in a bowl and whisk in hot liquid. Let cool slightly, then whisk in egg. Pour into tart shell and bake 10 minutes. Let cool, then chill. About 1 hour before serving, bring to room temperature.
