Good flavors, not so great texture. The egg custard was too fluffy and did not set well. Orange slices sank completely in to the custard and could not be seen, plus made the tart hard to cut. The simple citrus flavor was good – and I made it with a tart shell that also had a bit of orange zest in it – but I wouldn't make this again.
