TWD - Pear Tart with Crunchy Almond Topping


The second recipe for Tuesdays with Dorie this month is Pear Tart with Crunchy Almond Topping.


This tart had a few components but was not hard to make.  First, you made a fully baked pie crust.  Next you cooked some pears for the filling and placed them in the tart.  This was a little time consuming because you had to peel, core and dice the pears first. Finally, the pie was topped with a topping of egg whites and sliced almonds, before being baked.  And lo, isn't it glorious:


This was one where the effort paid off.  This tart was glorious, and well worth making again:

This is definitely worth the effort although, as you say, the coomponents themselves are not that tricky. A showstopper, in any case and yes, I'll make this again!

I'm still loving pear flavours so this holds great appeal, and looks very tasty.

It's a gorgeous tart. I haven't made this one yet, but I need to get on it - I love pear desserts.
