Grape Tart
Crostata di Uva
Traditional tart made with crumbly pastry and ripe grapes, with a neat and colorful mosaic surface.
Grape tart is a simple and distinctive baked dessert, perfect for showcasing ripe grapes in a crumbly crust. The crust, made with flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and egg yolks, provides a soft, golden crust, while the sliced ​​grapes, deseeded, bring a natural fruitiness to the filling. Arranging the fruit cut-side up creates a smooth, almost mosaic-like surface, allowing you to visually distinguish between white and red grapes. Baking at 180°C (356°F) completes the balance between the pastry and the fruit, developing a uniform golden brown and a texture suitable for slicing. This recipe is a traditional Italian dish.
