Tarte de Amêndoa
Almond Tarts...individual bite-sized or full fluted tart pan sized to serve with tea or coffee, these are traditional Portuguese treats. Almonds can be slivered, crushed or whole. The recipe calls for sugar...but tastes much better with honey. A touch of cinnamon can also be added.
Or you can just enjoy the toasted almonds by themselves with Wildflower Honey.
These are wonderful with a soft or semi-soft cheese and fresh fig, sliced pear or apple.
