Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 9-inch tart pan with 1 tbsp melted butter. Layer 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each sheet generously with 1 tbsp melted butter before adding the next.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine 1 cup finely chopped pistachios, 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon.
  3. Step 3: Spread nut mixture evenly over the layered phyllo base.
  4. Step 4: Layer remaining 4 phyllo sheets on top, brushing each with remaining melted butter.
  5. Step 5: Using a sharp knife, score the tart into diamond shapes to allow even cutting after baking.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes until phyllo is golden and crisp.
  7. Step 7: While tart bakes, heat 1/3 cup honey with 1 tsp lemon zest and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract in a small saucepan over low heat until warm and fragrant.
  8. Step 8: Remove tart from oven and immediately drizzle warmed honey mixture evenly over the hot phyllo.
  9. Step 9: Let cool completely before serving to allow honey to soak in and tart to set.
