I'm a sucker for tarts. It's one of my favorite desserts to make, and generally like them more than pies or cakes. This one caught my eye because of the oranges and the brown butter. Different. Everything was simple to put together, and the custard filling is delicious. The tart is nice to look at but the oranges were just too juicy and created a layer of juice between the oranges and the custard.

The recipe doesn't say to drain the oranges. I did as much as possible, but they were still too juicy. I think I'd like to make this tart again, using blueberries on top instead of oranges.
