For the Citrus Custard Filling
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, cubed
For the Citrus Topping
1 blood orange, thinly sliced

Instructions
-
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and ice water. Mix just until dough forms. Shape into a disk and chill 30 minutes.
-
Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Press into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim edges. Chill 20 minutes to prevent shrinkage.
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line crust with parchment and fill with baking weights. Bake 15 minutes. Remove weights and bake 10–12 minutes more until golden brown. Cool completely.
-
In a saucepan, whisk eggs, egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, orange juice, and zest. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and it coats the back of a spoon (170–175°F).
-
Remove from heat. Whisk in butter until smooth and glossy. Strain through fine mesh sieve. Pour into cooled crust.
-
Refrigerate at least 3 hours until fully set.
-
Pat citrus slices dry and arrange decoratively over the chilled custard.
-
Whisk yogurt, honey, and lemon juice until smooth. Brush lightly over fruit for a glossy finish. Chill 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, always use fresh citrus juice.
Strain the custard for a silky texture.
Chill overnight for clean slices.
Pat citrus slices dry before glazing to prevent excess moisture.
Store refrigerated up to 3 days. Do not freeze assembled tart.
