Steps
To make the jam tart, start by preparing the shortcrust pastry: on a work surface, arrange the flour with the sugar and lemon zest. Add the butter cut into pieces and roughly mix with the dry ingredients.
Add the eggs and mix with the tips of your fingers until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
Wrap the shortcrust pastry in plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge for 30 minutes. After resting, roll out the pastry to a thickness of about 1/8 inch
Place it in a greased and floured tart pan, trim the edges, and prick the bottom. Add the jam.
Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips. Wet the edges of the tart and place the strips diagonally, crossing them.
Bake the jam tart in the oven at 356°F (180°C) for about 30 minutes.
The tart is ready!
