Tips:
- For the perfect custard filling, use fresh eggs and whole milk. Eggs provide richness and structure, while whole milk adds a creamy texture.
- Strain the custard mixture before pouring it into the tart shell. This will remove any lumps and ensure a smooth filling.
- Bake the tart in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the custard from curdling.
- Do not over-bake the tart. The custard should be set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
- Let the tart cool completely before serving. This will allow the custard to firm up and the flavors to meld.
- For a special touch, garnish the tart with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
