Serves: 8 Total Time: 1 hr ingredients U.S. Metric Conversion chart
    2 tablespoon(s)  canola oil
8 (9x14-in. sheets) fillo, thawed 2 graham crackers
    1/4 cup(s)  sweet orange marmalade
    1 15-oz container(s)  part-skim ricotta cheese
    3 large  eggs
1/3 cup(s) confectioners’ sugar
    2 tablespoon(s)  fresh lemon juice
    2 teaspoon(s)  grated orange zest
    2 tablespoon(s)  honey
    3 tablespoon(s)  roasted, shelled pistachios, chopped

directions

Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly oil a 9-in. tart pan with a removable bottom. Working on a piece of parchment paper, brush one sheet of fillo with some of the oil (keep the other sheets covered with plastic wrap and a damp cloth so they don’t dry out). Top with another sheet, rotating it slightly so the corners don’t line up with the sheet below it; brush with oil. Repeat with the remaining sheets and oil to make a large round.
Pick up the piece of parchment and invert the fillo stack into the tart pan. Gently ease the sheets into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan. Fold the edges of the fillo inward, so that the crust is standing up straight about ½ in. above the edge of the pan. Using scissors, trim fillo to ¼ in. from edge of tart pan; discard the trimmings.
Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form (you should get about ⅓ cup). Sprinkle onto bottom of fillo-lined pan, then dollop small spoonfuls of marmalade on top. Wipe out the processor, then add the ricotta, eggs, sugar, lemon juice and orange zest. Pulse 2 or 3 times just until blended (do not overprocess). Transfer the filling to the prepared pan.
Bake until the center is just set and the crust is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely, then refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
Before serving, heat the honey in the microwave, about 15 seconds. Spread over the tart, then sprinkle with the pistachios.
