Bake in 350℉ (180℃). oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, roll out remaining dough between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper to a rectangle about half the size of baking sheet.

Cut into long strips about ¼ inch wide.

Combine eggs, brown sugar, juices, lemon peel and vanilla for filling in processor or mixer bowl.

Blend well.

Process until evenly minced. Spread filling over baked pastry; top with strips of dough, crisscrossing diagonally.

Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes, until pastry strips are lightly browned.

Cool. Cut into small bars.
