#### Instructions
1. **Prepare the Pastry**:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least **30 minutes**.
2. **Preheat the Oven**:
- Preheat your oven to **350°F (175°C)**.
3. **Roll Out the Pastry**:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry to fit a tart pan (about 9 inches in diameter). Transfer to the pan and trim any excess pastry.
4. **Make the Almond Filling**:
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the ground almonds, followed by the beaten eggs and almond extract until well combined.
5. **Assemble the Tart**:
- Spread half of the almond filling over the pastry base. Scatter half of the blueberries on top.
- Spoon the remaining almond filling over this layer and gently press in the remaining blueberries.
6. **Prepare the Streusel Topping**:
- In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oats, and cold butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the tart.
7. **Bake**:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about **45-50 minutes**, or until the filling is set and golden brown.
8. **Cool and Serve**:
- Allow to cool in the pan for about **10 minutes**, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
