Fruity, creamy, flaky, crispy. That’s right, we are talking about the ever so delicious fruit tart made with Phyllo dough. Phyllo (also spelled filo), which means “leaf” in Greek, is tissue-thin sheets of dough that have very little fat. Many popular Greek dishes, such as baklava and spanakopita, are made with phyllo dough. If you love tarts but want to have more of a pastry twist, this recipe is perfect for you! It is super light and delicious!
The recipe comes from Pam Monfore on “Journey” from the Facebook group: “Cooking on a Boat”. Pam says: “I got the recipe from Skinnytaste who got it from Point-less Meals who I think got it from Taste of Home.y. So, we can see how popular this recipe is. Give it a try!
