Ingredients:

- For the crust:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

- For the filling:

2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- For the topping:

1 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
2. To make the crust, combine the flour, sugar, and butter in a mixing bowl. Mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
3. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
4. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and flour until smooth.
5. Pour the filling over the baked crust and return the dish to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
6. While the bars are baking, prepare the blueberry topping. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries burst.
7. Once the bars are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, pour the blueberry topping over the bars and spread it evenly.
8. Let the bars cool completely before slicing and serving.
These Blueberry Lemon Bars are a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The buttery crust adds a nice crunch, while the lemon filling is tart and refreshing.
