Ingredients 11
1 (8 ounce) ball sweet pastry dough
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons crème fraîche
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 large egg yolk
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.5 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 pound fresh ripe strawberries, hulled, halved
0.25 cup apricot jam
2 teaspoons water
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
2
Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured surface to a round shape, about 12 inches across and 1/8 inch thick. Put it on the prepared baking sheet.
-
3
Brush the edges of the dough with a little water. Curl the edge up to make it thicker and crimp it with your fingers.
-
4
Use a fork to make small holes in the dough to stop it bubbling up during baking.
-
5
Bake the crust in the oven until it is golden brown, which takes 20 to 25 minutes. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
-
6
Mix the cream cheese, crème fraîche, sugar, egg yolk, salt, vanilla, and lemon zest in a bowl. Pour some of this mixture into the pastry shell.
-
7
Put the filled tart back in the oven and bake until the cheese layer is set and the crust is browned, about 20 minutes. Let it cool completely.
-
8
Arrange the strawberries on top of the tart, cut side down, starting with the larger ones around the edge.
-
9
Heat the apricot jam with 2 teaspoons of water in a saucepan until it is thin enough to brush. Brush it over the strawberries and crust.
