For the crust: Place the flour, sugar, butter, and egg yolk in a processor and blend for 2 minutes or until you obtain a homogeneous dough. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it reaches the size of the tart pan, cover the pan, remove excess dough, and press to compact well. Use your fingers to press down properly.
With a fork, make holes on the surface of the dough. Then place parchment paper or aluminum foil over the dough and add beans for blind baking. Bake at 180 °C for 20 minutes, until it has a slightly crunchy consistency. Let it cool and set aside.
For the filling: Mix the cream cheese, brown sugar, sherry, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and San Juan® eggs in a bowl. Using a whisk, mix until combined, then add the walnuts and mix.
Pour the previous mixture over the tart crust and bake at 180 °C for 20 minutes.
For the pomegranate sauce: Heat the pomegranate, sugar, star anise, and orange peel in a pot, cooking until you have a thick sauce. Let it cool and set aside.
Once the tart comes out of the oven, let it cool slightly, pour the pomegranate sauce over it, and decorate with fresh pomegranate. Serve and enjoy with a hot coffee.
