Chef's Tips
For an even more indulgent touch, you can add crushed hazelnuts or almonds on top before baking. This will add crunch to the sweetness of the caramelized pears.
Storage
The pear tart keeps well in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. You can warm it slightly in the oven before serving to regain its full flavor.
