Equipment

12-inch pizza pan For assembling and baking the tart.
parchment paper (rounds or cut to fit). Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
mixing bowls For melting and holding the butter.
pastry brush Used to gently brush melted butter between the layers of phyllo.
Knife For slicing the strawberries and cutting the finished tart.
rubber spatula Helps spread the melted goat cheese evenly after baking.

Ingredients

1/4 cup (4 tbsps.) butter
18 sheets phyllo dough thawed overnight in the refrigerator
8 oz. plain goat cheese
2-1/2 cups thinly sliced strawberries
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup honey

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a small dish. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on the pan and use a basting brush to lightly coat it with butter. Add another sheet, rotated slightly from the first, and brush with more butter. Repeat this process, rotating and layering the sheets in a circle, until all the phyllo is used and the pan is fully covered, with the excess dough hanging over the edge.
1/4 cup (4 tbsps.) butter, 18 sheets phyllo dough
Fold and scrunch the excess dough onto the edge of the pan to create a thin crust border, brushing with additional butter as needed to hold it in place.
Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the dough. Bake at 350°F for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the phyllo is golden brown and flaky. Use a spoon or spatula to gently spread the melted cheese into a smooth layer.
8 oz. plain goat cheese
Starting from the outer edge, arrange the sliced strawberries in overlapping rows or circles, working toward the center until the tart is fully covered.
2-1/2 cups thinly sliced strawberries
Sprinkle sliced almonds over the strawberries and drizzle with honey. Slice and serve warm or chilled.
1/4 cup sliced almonds, 1/4 cup honey
