"Healthified" Blueberry-Lemon Tart



"Healthified" Blueberry-Lemon Tart

Crust
1/3 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons fat-free egg product
1 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
Filling
1/2 cup lemon curd (from 10-oz jar)
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream

1. Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, beat butter and brown sugar with electric mixer on low speed until fluffy. Beat in egg product until blended. Beat in flour until dough forms. Press dough firmly in bottom and up side of ungreased 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Prick bottom thoroughly with fork.
2. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. If crust puffs in center, prick with fork. Cool 30 minutes or until completely cooled.
3. In small bowl, beat lemon curd and sour cream with wire whisk until smooth. Spread evenly over crust. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Just before serving, top with blueberries.

What is “Healthified”?
We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.
Success
Because the crust will sometimes puff a little in the middle during baking, pricking it again after baking helps "deflate" the puffing. One or two pokes with a fork should do the trick!
Substitution
Use raspberries or strawberries in place of the blueberries, or any combo of the three, for a berry good way to take advantage of seasonal specials.

Tonight's dinner menu!

Top Blade steak with 4 hour Marinade
& Home made Fettucini alfredo
The only thing pre-made is the pasta.

Meat:

1/3 c. bottle steak sauce
3 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. oil
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 Top Blade steaks (approx weight 1.5 lbs)
Unseasoned meat tenderizer

Mix marinade in 9 x 13 inch dish. Trim excess fat from meat. Use tenderizer as directed. Add meat to marinade. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours; turning meat occasionally. Grill over medium coals 30 minutes or until desired doneness

I will be varying that recipe to accomodate my living situation, and will be pan seering them over medium high heat for 6 minutes on each side.

Fettucini Alfredo:
1 bag egg noodles - boiled Al Dente
1/2 c. grated jack cheese
1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese
1/2 c. grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 c. milk
Garlic Salt to taste
1/4 c. sweet peas
1/4 c. corn

Boil the noodles to al dente - or desired tenderness, drain well. Combine all the cheeses, and milk, with the noodles, and stir until melted, on simmer. Add garlic salt to taste, and 5 minutes before serving stir in veggies.

For a stronger bouquet of flavor, prepare a day in advance and reheat on low heat, stirring gently, constantly, careful not to shred the noodles.

Enjoy!
