A tart shell is a versatile pastry base commonly used in both savory and sweet dishes. Made from a mixture of flour, butter, sugar, and often a pinch of salt, its origins can be traced to European cuisine, particularly French patisserie. The butter content gives the shell a flaky, melt-in-your-mouth texture, while the sugar adds a subtle sweetness in variations intended for desserts. Tart shells are typically high in calories and fats due to the use of butter, making them a less healthy option when consumed frequently or in large quantities. However, they can be modified with whole-grain flours or reduced amounts of sugar for a more health-conscious version. They serve as a foundational layer for nutrient-rich fillings like fresh fruits, vegetables, or protein-packed quiches, allowing for a balance between indulgence and wholesome ingredients depending on the dish.
