For the flakiest pastry, ensure all ingredients are cold and handle the dough as little as possible.
If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil. Let the tart cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and set custard.
Storage
Store leftover tart in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. The flavors meld beautifully overnight, making it even more delicious the next day.
To freeze, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil; they’ll keep for up to a month.
For best results when reheating, thaw frozen slices in the fridge overnight. Warm briefly in a low oven (150°C/300°F) for 10 minutes if desired, though it’s equally tasty cold. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the pastry soggy.
If preparing ahead, the unbaked tart can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. The custard can also be made 2 days in advance—just keep it covered in the fridge until ready to use.
