Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients:

For the crust:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup of sugar (approximately 150 g)
- 1 cup of flour (approximately 150 g)
- 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons of oil

For the filling:
- 4 large, ripe, and fragrant nectarines
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 500 ml of milk
- 1 packet of caramel pudding (or vanilla, according to preference)
- 3 tablespoons of sugar for the pudding
- 4 tablespoons of cold milk for the pudding
- 100 ml of whipped cream for decoration (optional)

Preparation:

1. Preparing the crust:
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Use a mixer to beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. Gradually add the 1 cup of sugar and continue mixing until you achieve a stiff foam that holds peaks.

2. Incorporating the ingredients:
Add the yolks to the egg white mixture and gently fold with a spatula, being careful not to lose the air in the mixture. Sift the flour, baking powder, and breadcrumbs together and gradually fold them into the mixture, continuing to mix gently. Finally, add the oil and mix until perfectly combined.

3. Baking the crust:
Grease a tart pan with oil and dust it with breadcrumbs. Pour the crust mixture into the pan and level the surface. Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and passes the toothpick test.

4. Preparing the nectarine filling:
In a skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add the 5 tablespoons of sugar and, after 2-3 minutes, add the diced nectarines and vanilla sugar. Simmer everything over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the nectarines soften and meld with the sugar into a delicious syrup.

5. Preparing the pudding:
In another pot, bring the milk to a boil. When it starts boiling, add the pudding powder previously mixed with the 3 tablespoons of sugar and the 4 tablespoons of cold milk. Stir continuously over low heat for one minute, until the pudding thickens.

6. Assembling the tart:
Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven. Pour the nectarine mixture over the crust, ensuring to include the syrup. Then, add the pudding over the nectarines and return the tart to the oven on the top rack for about 15 minutes, until the pudding forms a light skin.

7. Cooling and serving:
Allow the tart to cool completely before removing it from the pan. You can decorate it with whipped cream for a more elegant look and added flavor.

Practical tips:
- Make sure the nectarines are well-ripened for maximum flavor. You can also use other fruits, such as peaches or plums, to vary the recipe.
- If you want a more intense flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla extract to the pudding mixture.
- The tart can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days, but it is best consumed within 24 hours.
- You can replace sugar with a natural sweetener, depending on your preferences.

Nutritional benefits:
Nectarines are rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, making them excellent for immune system and skin health. Additionally, this tart has a moderate calorie content, with around 250 calories per serving, depending on portion size and ingredients used.
