I just did 3 lemon meringue tarts for a wedding dessert table the day before the wedding. As mentioned above, I brushed egg white on the pate brisee crusts before baking. (It was also about 90 degrees in the un-airconditioned hall.) At 4:00 p.m. Sat., the crust was still crispy and the meringue perfect.
