STEP 2 Place flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter with fork or pastry cutter until mixture is in small, pea-sized lumps. Add egg yolk and ice water, stirring to combine. Gently knead dough until it comes together in a ball. If dough feels too dry, add additional water one tablespoon at a time. STEP 3 Roll dough on lightly floured surface until dough is slightly larger than 13-inch round or 14x4-inch tart pan. Gently move dough onto tart pan, gently pressing dough to fit shape of pan.

Carefully remove foil and pie weights. Continue baking shell 5-6 minutes or until golden. STEP 5 Meanwhile, place milk, 3 eggs, 2 ounces goat cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper in medium bowl. Whisk until smooth. Stir in peppers and bacon. STEP 6 Pour filling into prepared tart shell. Bake 30 minutes or until egg is set and tart shell edges are light brown. STEP 7 To serve, crumble remaining 2 ounces goat cheese on top of tart.
