Notes

Consider drizzling honey over the finished tart just before serving for added sweetness and gloss. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving. For freezing, wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
