Instructions

  1. Knead the dough from the flour, salt, sugar, egg and butter and chill for at least 1 hour.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees / gas stove level 3 and grease the tart pan and roll out the dough thinly. Bake the dough (blind) for 15 minutes.
  3. For the topping: beat the 3 eggs, egg yolks and sugar until frothy, add the lemon juice and half of the lemon zest, creme fraîche and melted butter. Pour the mixture into the tart pan on the pre-baked base.
  4. Scatter the rest of the bowl on top of the mixture and bake at 170 ° / speed 2 for 40-45 minutes until it is slightly brown on top. Then let it cool down and heat the 2 tablespoons of the lemon or quince jelly (possibly with a little lemon juice) and distribute it on the cake.
  5. Tastes best when the tart is left to cool overnight.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
