Rustic Lemon Tart
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 13 cup fresh lemon juice
- 5 tablespoons sweet butter, melted and cooled
- 1 whole lemon
- Pastry for a 9-inch tart
- 2 tablespoons orange or lemon marmalade
- 3/4 cup heavy cream, whipped
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Beat the eggs with the sugar and lemon juice.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- Peel all the skin and pith from the lemon, exposing the flesh.
- Cut six thin slices from the widest portion and remove the seeds.
- Roll the pastry into a 12-inch circle and fit it into an 8-inch round tart pan, allowing the excess to hang over the sides.
- Spread with the marmalade.
- Pour the lemon mixture in and float the lemon slices on top.
- Fold the excess pastry gently over the edge of the filling, pleating it randomly as you go, to form a rough border about two inches wide.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, until the pastry has browned and the filling is fairly firm.
- Serve with whipped cream.
