Buttery. Custard-y. Deeply comforting—this is a dessert perfect for real life. Born in the spirit of French clafoutis and Greek kataifi, this tart transforms humble filo pastry into a golden, crinkled masterpiece. The magic? Hand-folding the paper-thin sheets—no precise creasing required—creating pockets that hold honeyed pears, melted brie, and a cloud-like cream. Bake it in a single dish, serve hot with coffee, and watch it disappear before the last crumb is gone.
Best of all? Naturally impressive yet effortless, easy to learn, and infinitely adaptable.
