- To prepare crust & bake tart:
- Mix oil and butter in a small bowl.
- Cover phyllo with wax paper or plastic wrap and a slightly damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out.
- Center one sheet of phyllo in the pie pan, letting the edges hang over; gently press it into the pan.
- Dampen a pastry brush with water and lightly brush some of the oil-butter mixture over the phyllo.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon breadcrumbs over the bottom.
- Repeat with 5 more sheets of phyllo, laying each at a 45 angle to the previous one and sprinkling each with breadcrumbs.
- Scrape the filling into the crust.
- Brush one of the remaining phyllo sheets with oil-butter mixture.
- Place another sheet on top at a 45 angle.
- Repeat with the last sheet.
- Place the stack on the filling.
- Fold the overhanging phyllo up around the tart, creating a ruffled border.
- Dab any remaining oil-butter mixture on top.
