Autumn is finally here – it’s been a really hot summer – and that means that it is time to think about some delicious autumn flavors. This autumn tart recipe is perfect if you want something light and flaky and absolutely delicious.

With about an hour to prep and less than an hour to bake, this is a relatively quick and super-easy tart that your entire family is going to love. Mine did!

I wanted something new for fall, something delicious that’s a bit different than pumpkin pies and apple cakes. So, I started looking and found this autumn tart and it has so many wonderful flavors! Plus, this one is an appetizer. It’s got more than just pumpkin and a sweet taste.

There’s parmesan, Italian herbs, and goat cheese in there! My family really loved this one. I made it as an appetizer before dinner one night, but it could also double as a great quiche-like dish for breakfast or brunch.

And you could even pair it with a great soup, like this chicken gnocchi soup, to make a nice lunch.

If you love quiche, then you are going to really love this autumn tart recipe, and it’s a bit easier than quiche. Like I said, I made it as an appetizer but I plan to make another one as a nice fall brunch for a few of my friends and family.

You really don’t need to make anything else, although I do highly recommend giving these peanut butter oat bars as a nice follow up. The tart has pumpkin, eggs, goat cheese, parmesan, a delicious flaky crust, and pear to give it just a bit of sweet. It’s definitely not like any fall dish you’ve ever had before!

Fresh ingredients – eggs, goat cheese, parmesan – make this tart even more delicious.

Make the crust first.

Poke holes in the crust with a fork and weigh down to bake evenly.

Add tart ingredients to the baked tart crust.

Bake until light, flaky, and delicious.
