How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Phyllo Tart
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Brush the bottom and sides of an 11x7 inch glass baking dish with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom and extend 2 inches up the sides of the baking dish. Place it in the dish.
- Brush the parchment paper generously with melted butter.
- Carefully lay one phyllo sheet in the baking dish, centering it and letting it extend about 1 inch up the sides, brushing with melted butter. Repeat this process 5 more times with remaining phyllo sheets, ensuring that each layer is buttered.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges of the phyllo start to turn golden brown and curl slightly. If the center puffs up, gently prick it with a fork.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute, or until fluffy.
- Gradually beat in the sugar, mixing for another 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating until just combined after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into the partially baked phyllo crust.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the phyllo is golden brown.
- Let the tart cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the tart from the pan using the extended edges of the parchment paper, placing it on a wire rack to cool completely (45-50 minutes) until it reaches room temperature.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries attractively over the top of the cooled tart.
- Brush the strawberries with the strawberry jelly or glaze for a beautiful shine.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
