4 large eggs, plus 4 large egg yolks
1 1/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)

Press-In Crust for Lemon Curd Tart

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan (off heat), whisk together eggs, egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth; add butter.
  • Place pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof flexible spatula, until lemon curd is thickened to the consistency of a loose pudding, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour curd through a fine-mesh sieve into cooled crust. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate tart until filling is firm, 2 to 3 hours. Unmold before serving.
