Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pastry dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch and place it in a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim the edges and press the dough into the corners of the pan.
2
Line the pastry shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and pie weights or beans and continue baking for another 10-12 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
3
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and kosher salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it steep for 10-15 minutes with the vanilla beans. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl and discard the vanilla beans.
5
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and confectioners' sugar until pale yellow and thick. Temper the egg yolks by slowly pouring the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
6
Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the baked pastry shell and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.
7
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Just before serving, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and caramelize with a kitchen torch, if desired.
