💭 Tips
Remove one package of Phyllo dough from the box and bring to room temperature before using. It is best to not remove the phyllo dough from the wrapper until you are ready to assemble the tart.
🙋 FAQ's
Phyllo and filo dough are two different terms for the same product.
Yes, but if you do, I recommend steaming the rhubarb for 8 minutes to soften it and increase the amount of jam to ½ cup to accommodate for the loss of sugar from the strawberries.

Strawberry Rhubarb Tart
Ingredients
- 5 sheets filo dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 quart strawberries washed, hulled and sliced
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamon
- 3 tablespoons strawberry rhubarb jam
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ⅛ cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Stir jam into sliced berries and set aside. Mix sugar and cardamon and set aside.
- Lie filo dough out flat on baking sheet (I covered mine with a slipmat) and using a pastry brush cover filo dough with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Fold edges of filo dough on all 4 sides.
- Sprinkle entire filo dough (crust and center) with cardamon sugar. You may not use all of it. I did use most because my berries were tart and the jam wasn’t super sweet.
- Place jam and berry mixture in center of dough being careful to keep inside of the edges. Sprinkle top of berry mixture with 1 Tablespoon sugar and the sliced almonds.
- Bake in oven for about 20 minutes or until filo dough has browned nicely.
- Enjoy plain or with some sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!

It's called strawberry-rhubarb tart but there's no rhubarb listed in the recipe. What am I missing?
Shelby Law Ruttan
My apologies Lori, I do mention in the post I used Strawberry Rhubarb Jam, that is where the rhubarb comes from. I updated the recipe card to make sure it is clear.

Did you separate each layer of filo dough, coat it w/ melted butter and layer it, or just use one layer of filo dough and coat that w/ butter before folding it and topping it?
