Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C, and put a baking sheet inside to heat up. Unroll the pastry, keeping it on the paper, and score a 1cm border with a knife.
  2. Mix the crème fraîche, garlic and most of the thyme with some seasoning, then spread to cover the pastry, keeping inside the border.
  3. Scatter over the sprouts and bacon lardons, leaving the border clear. Lightly brush the border with the milk. Transfer the tart (still on the paper) to the hot baking sheet and cook for 25 mins or until the sprouts are tender and lightly golden and the pastry is puffed and deep golden. Scatter over the walnuts for the last 3 mins of cooking. Leave to cool for a few mins, then scatter with the remaining thyme and a little black pepper.
