Steps:
- For crust:
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in processor; blend 5 seconds. Using on/off turns, blend in butter until coarse meal forms. Add 4 teaspoons cream. Using on/off turns, blend until moist clumps form, adding more cream by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap and chill at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Fold overhang in, pressing to form double-thick sides. Bake crust until golden, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles, about 18 minutes (small cracks may appear). Brush inside of hot crust twice with egg white. Maintain oven temperature.
- For filling:
- Whisk 3/4 cup sugar, cream, yolks, and eggs in bowl to blend well. Mix in lemon juice and lemon peel. Pour filling into warm crust. Bake until filling is slightly puffed at edges and set in center, about 30 minutes. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Preheat broiler. Place tart on baking sheet. Cover edge of crust with foil to prevent burning. Sprinkle tart with 2 tablespoons sugar. Broil tart until sugar melts and caramelizes, turning sheet for even browning, about 2 minutes. Transfer tart to rack. Cool until topping is crisp, about 1 hour.
- Push tart pan bottom up, releasing tart. Place on platter, garnish with lemon slices, if desired, and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon zest and juice add the best flavor to this tart. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of bottled lemon extract in place of the zest and juice.
- Make sure the crème brûlée filling is set before torching the sugar. The filling should be firm to the touch, but still have a slight jiggle in the center.
- Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar. A kitchen torch is the best way to get a smooth, even caramelized sugar topping. If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can use a broiler, but be careful not to burn the sugar.
- Serve the tart immediately after torching the sugar. The caramelized sugar topping is best when it's still warm and crispy.
Conclusion:
This lemon crème brûlée tart is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy, tangy filling is perfectly complemented by the sweet, caramelized sugar topping. With a little planning ahead, this tart is easy to make and will surely impress your guests.
