This was delicious! I had a small Rosemary Tart dough that I used, so it was just a 9" tart. I just scaled everything back a bit. I didn't have cream, so I just used half and half in place of cream and milk, worked fine. I was surprised by how much the curry and nutmeg just blended in and refined the flavor so nicely! It was lovely.
