This tart looks incredible, and is easy to make, too. Thin slices of Meyer lemons are poached in simple syrup to make sweet candied circles, and then arranged on store-bought puff pastry.

Steps:
- Bring water and granulated sugar to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
- Cut out a circle of parchment the size of the saucepan. Add lemons, and cover with parchment. Simmer gently until lemons are soft and translucent, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove lemons from syrup, and transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to an 11-by-14-inch rectangle. Lightly score a 1-inch border around edges using a sharp paring knife. Brush entire surface of dough with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Bake pastry until golden, 22 to 24 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, whisk heavy cream and vanilla seeds with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Top pastry with lemon slices. Serve with vanilla cream.
