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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a food processor, pulse almonds, sugar, flour, and salt until finely ground. Add egg, vanilla, and nutmeg and process until combined.
- Lay 1 sheet phyllo on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, lightly brush with butter, and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon sugar. (Keep extra phyllo covered while you work.) Stack remaining 5 sheets phyllo on top, brushing each with butter and sprinkling with sugar (omit sugar on last layer). Trim stack into an 11-by-15-inch rectangle. Spread almond mixture evenly on stack, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange pears on top, overlapping slightly.
- Bake until edges are golden and fruit is tender, about 18 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let tart cool slightly on sheet on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
