Butter Tarts in Phyllo

Oh my, these were good! Sweet, gooey filling in a crispy pastry shell.

The filling had the standard ingredients for butter tarts with pecans added, and came together quickly. It was less egg and butter-rich and a little sweeter than other recipes I’ve made but with the high proportion of pastry to filling, the finished tart wasn’t too sweet.

I loved the use of phyllo in this application; it not only reduced the time spent making them (it took ~30 minutes including baking time) but also elevated these tarts to a company-worthy dessert.
