Things I’ve Learned
To ensure a smooth tart filling, zest and juice the citrus before mixing. If the crust cracks, it’s likely overbaked; keep an eye on it in the oven. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and this tart can be made a day in advance. For reheating, serve at room temperature for the best flavor.
