Method
 

Prepare Tart Dough

Roll Out Dough
  1. After chilling, roll dough into an 11-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan, trim excess, and prick the bottom to avoid bubbling.
Bake the Crust
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake crust for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
Make Lemon Curd
  1. Whisk together lemon juice, zest, egg yolks, honey, and salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened and reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and whisk in cubed butter.
Bake Lemon Filling
  1. Pour curd into cooled crust and spread evenly. Bake again for 10-12 minutes until set. Cool completely on wire rack.
Prepare Blueberry Filling
  1. Puree blueberries, strain through a sieve. In a saucepan, whisk strained liquid, honey, and cornstarch. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Chill Tart
  1. Pour blueberry filling over the set lemon curd. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until blueberry layer is firm.
