Working with phyllo

There are a few tips you need to remember when working with phyllo. You’ll find it in the freezer section of your supermarket, and you should keep it frozen until you’re ready to use it. Move it to the refrigerator the night before you make your tart. Then, set it on the counter to come to room temperature at least an hour before you will work with it. Leave it in the package while it’s on the counter so it doesn’t dry out. Remove the phyllo from the package when you’re ready and make your tart!

Use the ingredients you have

I know I’ve given you several substitute options for this recipe, but there are so many things you can do to make this tart your own. If you are missing an ingredient, use what you have as a substitute. I use heavy whipping cream to keep the topping light, but your tart will be a little richer and just as delicious if you have ricotta or cream cheese. Adding pesto on top of the cheese mixture or adding fresh herbs to the melted butter would a lot of fresh herb flavor. So, use what you like and what you have to make this delicious tart your own.

How to make Artichoke Phyllo Tart

1. Preheat the oven to 400 °F, 200 °C.
2. In a small mixing bowl, add the feta and mash it with a fork.
3. Add the heavy cream, shredded cheese and black pepper and stir until combined.
4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and layer the phyllo on top, drizzling melted butter between each layer.
5. Spread the cheese mixture on the top layer of the phyllo.
6. Slice the artichoke hearts in half and arrange them on the cheese.
7. Then, slice the sundried tomatoes and place them in between the artichokes.
8. Sprinkle the capers between the artichoke hearts and drizzle the top of the artichokes with olive oil.
9. Brush the edges of the phyllo with the remaining melted butter and roll the edges to create a rustic border.
10. Bake on the center rack of the oven for about 35 minutes.
11. Allow the tart to cool for 10 minutes and then cut into squares.
12. Garnish with scallions or parsley.

Serving

I love to sprinkle sliced scallions and/or parsley on top of my tart to add even more freshness. The cut squares can be big to serve as lunch with a salad and tzatziki, or you can cut them small to serve as an appetizer or finger food when you have guests over. It’s a beautiful tart, so be sure it’s on a beautiful platter to serve no matter what. Kali Orexi!
