How to Make Lemon-Almond Skillet Tart

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

2. Prepare Batter

In a bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and salt, whisking them together until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Add the ground almonds, cream, sliced almonds, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the bowl, and mix well until everything is fully incorporated.

3. Melt Butter

Place an 8-inch ovenproof skillet over low heat and melt the butter, making sure it coats the bottom and sides of the pan.

4. Cook Tart Batter

Once the butter is melted, pour the almond mixture into the skillet. Tilt the pan to distribute the batter evenly. Let it cook on the stovetop just until the edges begin to set.

5. Bake Tart

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the tart is mostly set but still slightly soft in the center.

6. Broil Tart

For a beautiful golden top, switch to the broiler setting and broil for about a minute, watching closely so it doesn’t burn.

7. Cool and Garnish

Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and allow the tart to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar and a handful of extra sliced almonds. Serve warm.

Variations

Chocolate-Pecan Skillet Tart

Mix in melted chocolate and a splash of vanilla extract with the eggs and sugar for the filling, and use ground pecans instead of almonds.

Apple-Cinnamon Skillet Tart

Thinly slice apples and layer them over the crust with a filling that includes cinnamon and nutmeg.

Blueberry-Lemon Skillet Tart

Add a layer of blueberries over the crust and then pour a lemon-infused custard filling on top.

Raspberry-Almond Skillet Tart

Swap out the lemon for a raspberry puree mixed into the custard base.

Orange-Hazelnut Skillet Tart

Replace lemon zest and juice with orange zest and juice, and swap almonds for ground hazelnuts.
