The most delicious and fragrant tart, with fillo pastry. Golden Pumpkin and Feta Tart with Crispy Filo Pastry Layers!

Filo pastry, known for its delicate, thin layers that become irresistibly crisp when baked, originates from the Ottoman Empire and has since become a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Its light and flaky texture provides the perfect base for both sweet and savoury dishes, allowing fillings to shine without being too heavy. In savoury applications, such as this version of a pumpkin and feta tart, the filo's subtle buttery flavour serves as an ideal complement, letting the rich sweetness of roasted pumpkin and the tangy, creamy feta cheese take center stage. The pastry's versatility makes it a popular choice for tarts, pies, and more, creating a delightful contrast of textures in every bite.

I threw this together over a very busy weekend, and they were so pretty, (and as you know I am the Queen of Tarts) so knew that you would love this.

So kids, there you have it! Easy, family friendly and seriously tasty.
