ALMOND-PEAR TART
Instead of using pastry dough as the base of this tart, we stacked sheets of phyllo to create a crisp crust that is still sturdy enough to support a nut-and-fruit topping. For a different flavor profile, use skinned toasted hazelnuts in place of almonds, and apples instead of pears.

Tips:
- Use ripe pears: The riper the pears, the sweeter and more flavorful the tart will be. Look for pears that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma.
- Don't overcook the pears: The pears should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
- Use a good quality almond flour: The almond flour is the main ingredient in the tart, so it's important to use a good quality flour. Look for almond flour that is finely ground and has a light, nutty flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the tart tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the tart until it is golden brown: The tart is done baking when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
This crustless pear and almond tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tart is made with a simple almond flour batter and filled with tender, juicy pears. It is then baked until the top is golden brown and the pears are cooked through. This tart is a great way to showcase the flavors of fresh pears and is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
