Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour and brown sugar. Cut in the softened butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of this mixture for topping. Press the remaining crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. (15 minutes)

03

Step

Bake the crust in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. (15 minutes)

04

Step

While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Whisk in 1/4 cup flour, granulated sugar, half-and-half, and salt until smooth and well combined. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Sprinkle the chopped rhubarb evenly over the crust. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the rhubarb. Sprinkle the reserved flour mixture evenly over the top. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Return the dish to the preheated oven and bake until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. (45 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider browning the butter before incorporating it into the crumble topping.
If you don't have half-and-half, you can substitute with a mixture of half milk and half heavy cream.
This dessert is best served warm, but it can also be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
A touch of almond extract (about 1/4 teaspoon) added to the egg mixture complements the rhubarb beautifully.

    I'm not usually a fan of rhubarb, but this dessert is delicious. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

  • Baron Heller

    I've made this rhubarb dessert several times, and it's always a hit. The crumb topping is perfect!

  • Allene Gutkowski

    The crust was a little too crumbly for my liking. Next time, I might add a little more butter.
