- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
- Combine first 4 ingredients and make sure that they are well blended together.
- Press firmly onto the bottom and the sides of a 9" tart pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool down completely.
- In a saucepan beat eggs and the egg yolk with a wire whisk until well blended.

- Refrigerate at least 4 hours. I usually prepare it a day ahead.
