Restaurant Mirabelle Ginger Almond Tart

“This pie is part of the early history of Mirabelle. I created the recipe for our dessert list when the restaurant opened in 1983. The recipe has been printed many times, and still today my customers ask for it…so I keep it on the menu. Personally, I love it with a cup of great coffee, it just goes well together.” – Chef Guy Reuge
