I had some trouble finding canned clams, but I was able to find them at a specialty grocery store.

I'm not usually a fan of seafood, but this clam chowder tart changed my mind! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the crust was so buttery and flaky.

This chowder tart is an absolute delight! The creamy clam filling is perfectly complemented by the flaky crust. I especially loved the addition of bacon, which added a smoky flavor to the dish.
