STRAWBERRY TARTS WITH CREAM
Double trouble! There are two kinds of strawberries in this tart recipe-three pints of fresh strawberries and three cups of strawberry preserves. Chef Tony Esnault's grandmother made this tart every summer for his birthday. "It's a tradition the whole family is happy to continue," he says.

Steps:
- Cream butter and 1 cup sugar until pale and fluffy. Add yolks, and beat until just incorporated. Add flour and salt, and beat until just incorporated. Shape dough into 2 disks, wrap each in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days).
- Roll out each disk into an 11-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Fit each round into the bottoms and up the sides of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Prick the bottoms of dough with a fork, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush crusts with egg wash. Bake, pressing down crusts if they start to bubble, until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely, and remove from pans.
- Trim strawberries to about the same height. Heat preserves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until loose. Strain through a fine sieve. You will have about 1 cup of solids. Spread 1/2 cup solids over bottom of each tart. Arrange strawberries in a single layer over the top, placing cut sides down. Brush strawberries with just enough warm glaze to make berries shiny. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.
- Beat cream with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar just until thickened. Cut each tart into quarters, and serve slices topped with whipped cream.

Tips:
- For the perfect crust, use a food processor to evenly distribute the butter and flour. This will prevent the crust from becoming tough.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make the dough easier to work with and will prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- When baking the crust, use a pie weight or dried beans to prevent the crust from bubbling up.
- Allow the crust to cool completely before filling it.
- For the filling, use fresh, ripe strawberries. This will give your tarts the best flavor.
- Sweeten the strawberries to taste. You can use sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
- Add a little bit of lemon juice to the strawberries. This will help to brighten the flavor.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before making the filling. This will make it easier to mix.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Then, fold in the whipped cream.
- Fill the cooled crusts with the cream cheese filling. Then, top with the strawberries.
- Chill the tarts for at least 30 minutes before serving.
