Method

  1. Prepare a 9-inch tart pan with a removable base by greasing and flouring it.

  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and position an oven rack in the center.

  3. Unroll the pie crust and place it in the prepared tart pan. Gently press it into the bottom and sides of the pan, trimming any excess crust.

  4. Use a fork to prick the pastry in several places, then brush the crust with beaten egg white.

  5. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the egg white has set. Allow the crust to cool for 10 minutes.

  6. In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it turns brown and crispy, stirring frequently. Drain the cooked pancetta on a paper towel-lined plate.

  7. In a medium bowl, combine the beaten eggs, mascarpone cheese, Gruyere, green onions, salt, pepper, and cooked pancetta. Mix until smooth.

  8. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust and bake for about 18 minutes, or until the filling has set and the top is golden.

  9. Let the tart cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a serving platter.

  10. Cut the tart into wedges and serve it warm or at room temperature.

  11. Cook's Note: If using a 10-inch tart
