How to Make Crustless Pear And Almond Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9-inch baking dish or tart pan with butter.
  3. In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups blanched almonds and ½ cup granulated sugar. Process until finely ground, but be careful not to over-process and create almond butter.
  4. Transfer the ground almonds to a medium bowl. Stir in ½ cup all-purpose flour and ¼ teaspoon salt until well combined.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs until frothy.
  6. Whisk in 1 cup whole milk and 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until well blended.
  7. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  9. Peel, quarter, and core 3 medium ripe pears. Cut each pear quarter into crosswise slices, keeping them together.
  10. Arrange the pear slices on top of the batter, fanning them out from the center like spokes on a wheel. Gently press the pear slices into the batter so they are mostly submerged.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup granulated sugar evenly over the pears. Dot with 2 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
  12. Bake in the upper third of the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the tart is puffed and golden brown.
  13. Let the tart cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
