If you use 7 eggs there is far too much for the pastry case. I found the filling delicious, but I did taste and adjust the sugar before baking.

A bit too citrus. I love it !other members of the family were unable to eat it due to its obvious acidity. Is 200mls of lemon juice it the right amount?Looked just like your photo, I was thrilled with the presentation. but had to eat most myself as others disappointed to have to eat most myself
