- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup eggnog

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Whipped cream for serving (optional)
- Ground nutmeg for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add softened butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in the egg until the dough forms. Press the dough into a tart pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the Crust: Remove the crust from the refrigerator and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool slightly.
- Make the Custard Filling: In a bowl, whisk together eggnog, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Fill the Tart: Pour the custard mixture into the baked crust and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg if desired.
