French Lemon Meringue Tart (Tarte au Citron Meringuée)

I tested this tart/pie over the weekend, and it is officially my favorite version so far.

The crust is buttery and crisp thanks to the extra egg yolks, the lemon filling is silky and perfectly tangy without being too sharp, and the classic French meringue adds just the right softness to balance everything.

Elegant, fresh, and absolutely worth repeating.
