Browned butter just sounds delish doesn't it? This tart was so yum, that it disappeared within minutes of arriving in the work kitchen...an all time record perhaps. Glad I nabbed a slice at home! The berries could be fresh or frozen but need to be quite tart, (pardon the pun) to off set the buttery, sweet texture of pastry and filling combined. Please don't complain about calories on this one, just have a sliver and enjoy, AND with more cream if at all possible!
