Note

Ensure the puff pastry is thawed according to package instructions but still cold before rolling to maintain flakiness.

Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant before adding to the tart for maximum crunch.

If the plums are very sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar slightly. For a tart flavor profile, add a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the fruit mixture.

Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the oven to restore crispiness.
