Preparation
- Begin by blending the quick oats in a food processor until they reach a fine consistency. In a mixing bowl, combine these oats with all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized pieces, then gradually add ice water until the dough clumps together. Form it into a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) as you roll out the chilled dough. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough onto a baking sheet, mending any cracks with your fingers.
- In a large bowl, toss the diced rhubarb with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until all pieces are well-coated. Spoon the filling into the center of the rolled-out dough, leaving a bit of the edge uncovered.
- Gently fold the edges of the crust over the filling, creating pleats as needed. Brush the exposed crust with the beaten egg. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the crust.
- Place the assembled tart in your preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Adjust the position in the oven if necessary.
- Allow the tart to cool on a wire rack for 20-30 minutes before slicing. Whip the cream until soft peaks form, then add sugar until stiff peaks. Serve over each slice.

Notes
Keep ingredients cold to ensure a light, flaky crust. Avoid overmixing the dough to maintain a delicate texture. Use fresh rhubarb for the best flavor.
