Making the Tarts
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and a pinch of coarse salt. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture is well combined. Gradually whisk in 3 large eggs, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Cook for about 8-9 minutes until the curd thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Once done, transfer to a bowl and chill.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 0.25 cup sugar, and 0.25 teaspoon sea salt. Cut in 0.5 cup chilled and cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and enough cold water (about 3-4 tablespoons) to form a dough. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 15-60 minutes.
- Once chilled, roll out the dough to a ¼-inch thickness. Carefully transfer the crust into tart pans, pressing it gently into the edges. Prick the bottoms with a fork, line each crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove the weights and parchment, and let the crusts cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 0.25 cups sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fluffy. Fold in 1 cup of vanilla yogurt and 0.25 cup honey until smooth. Set aside.
- Slice fresh strawberries and evenly distribute them among the cooled crusts. Pour the custard filling over the strawberries, ensuring they are covered. Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes or until the custard is set and the edges are golden brown.
- Let the tarts cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle chilled lemon curd over the top of each tart and garnish with additional sliced strawberries if desired. Serve warm or chilled.
