This came about after I ran out of lemons for a lemon curd, then didn’t read a recipe right and put whole eggs in instead of just the yolks. I decided to run with it, and it turned out to be a lovely tart. It’s not quite a curd, not quite a custard.
I have used the microwave for this, however, if you wish, you can cook this on the oven top, just stir it continually. It may take a little longer.
Also, I have used a store bought pie shell, I had one in my freezer…it tasted good, but unfortunately, it makes the tart look like a commercially made one… Boo! A homemade shortcrust pastry would be lovely.
