Tarte au citron meringuée

France · Europe

Short description: This tart adds a toasted meringue cap to sharp lemon custard and crisp pastry.
Ingredients: Lemon custard fills a tart shell and is topped with whipped egg-white meringue that is lightly browned.
Cultural note: It is a common pastry-case variant, but lemon-and-meringue sweets also have wider histories beyond this tart format.
Common misconception: It is related to lemon meringue pie, but the clue target is the tart-shell version.
