tarts
Tarts are baked pastry dishes with a crust that typically holds a filling, which can be sweet or savory. The crust is often made from ingredients like flour, butter, and water, forming a firm base. The filling varies widely, from fruit and custard in desserts to cheese, vegetables, or meats in savory versions. Tarts are usually baked in shallow, open-topped dishes, allowing the filling to be visible and accessible. They can be served as desserts, appetizers, or main courses, offering a balance of crisp crust and flavorful filling.
