Brioche Nectarine Tart

This is my first attempt using a brioche dough for a not-too-sweet, but absolutely tempting and scrumptious tart. I used Dorie Greenspan's recipe but used ripe-firm nectarines instead of the Italian plums called for. I wasn't sure about whether the brioche was made correctly (it always seem to be a crap shoot when it comes to me and yeasted doughs) as it didn't seem to rise as much/easily as the recipe indicated. but i followed the direction anyway (with an overnight rest in the refrig) and it came out looking like this...


Couldn't be happier. Did overbake it slightly (probably would use a lower than 425 oven next time) so the bottom crust was a overly browned and a little hard. Otherwise, i'm looking forward to using this recipe with a variety of summer/fall fruits.
