This vanilla tart is one of my favorite go to desserts when I want something elegant but honestly pretty simple to pull together. The whole thing takes barely an hour from start to finish, which means you can have a stunning homemade tart on the table without spending your entire afternoon in the kitchen. I love using real vanilla beans because they make such a difference in flavor, and here's a nice bonus: eggs are packed with choline, which is great for brain health. This recipe comes together easily with everyday ingredients you probably already have, making it perfect for weeknight baking or impressing guests without the stress.
