This tart, which has a lemon cream
cheese base, jammy blueberries, and a crunchy crumble, is perfect. Using puff
pastry makes things simple. The bottom of the tart will crisp up if the baking
sheet is preheated in the oven. Take care when you slide the assembled tart
onto the hot pan!

- Roll out the pastry to a 12" x 9" rectangle on a sheet of parchment. To make a border, fold in sides about 1/4" all the way around.
