Notes
For the perfect sweet-savory balance, go for pears that are ripe but still have some firmness to them. Too ripe and they'll turn your tart into a soggy mess.
When it comes to the puff pastry, if it feels too thick right out of the box, give it a quick roll. You want it thin enough for that flaky goodness but thick enough to support all your toppings.
With the feta, it's all about what texture you're into. Crumble it for something a bit creamier or cut it into small cubes if you like it chunky. Either way, it contrasts nicely with the soft pears and crunchy almonds.
As for the honey, it's your call on how sweet you want to go. Cut back or skip it if you're leaning more towards savory.
