Tarte Bourdaloue

The tarte Bourdaloue, also known as pear almond tart, is a classic French pastry created in the late 19th century. Named after Bourdaloue Street in Paris, where its inventor was based, the tart typically consists of poached pear halves placed on a shortcrust pastry filled with frangipane or almond cream.

The dessert has developed variations such as poached fruits on rice or semolina pudding. This tart showcases the rich flavors of pears and the creamy texture of almond filling, often enjoyed as a delectable treat in French cuisine.
