Pi Day Treat

Yes, I know the following isn't called pie,

 but it is pie shaped, 
served in wedges, VERY easy, and really good. 

I had a slice for breakfast and felt very pampered

 even if I had to make it myself. 

A wedge of tart, a handful of grapes, a cup of tea, 

 and I was ready to face the ice coated trees

 and bushes in central Virginia. 

 So think happy thoughts about geometry and have a slice of pie.

PAN-BAKED LEMON-ALMOND TART

4 eggs

½ - ¾ C sugar (according to personal taste)

Pinch salt

½ cup ground almonds

½ cup cream

½ cup sliced almonds

1 lemon, zest and juice

2 TBS butter

Powdered sugar for garnish

Sliced almonds for garnish

• Heat oven to 400.
• Combine eggs, sugar, salt, ground almonds, cream, sliced almonds, lemon zest and juice
• Melt butter in 8” ovenproof skillet over low heat; when foam has subsided, add almond mixture to pan, tilting pan to distribute batter evenly. Continue to cook tart on stovetop until edges just begin to set, then put pan in oven and finish cooking, about 10 to 15 minutes more.
• When tart is done, put in broiler for about a minute or until just golden on top. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and sliced almonds.
• Serve
