Step 1

Combine the flour, butter, sugar and salt in a food processor. Pulse until crumbly. Alternately, combine in a bowl and cut the flour mixture into the butter with a pastry blender until crumbly. Add the water and continue to mix until the dough clings together.

Step 2

Spray an 11-inch tart pan with cooking spray. Press the dough evenly into the tart pan and up the sides.

Step 3

With a fork, prick the bottom of the dough in several places. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place a piece of parchment paper over the crust and fill with pie weights or old beans, rice or lentils.

Step 5

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until crust is lightly baked through. Let cool.

Drain off any excess fat/liquid and let cool. Stir in goat cheese and thyme.
