💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

Whole wheat pastry is healthier and homemade dough can be more economical.

Dijon mustard

🥗Healthier: whole grain mustard

💰Cheaper: yellow mustard

Whole grain mustard offers a similar flavor with added texture.

Start by mixing 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl.

Cube 1/2 cup of cold butter and add it to the flour mixture.

Blend the mixture until it resembles loose crumbs, using your hands to combine if necessary.

Gradually add 1/4 cup of ice water while mixing until a dough forms.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Transfer the rolled dough to a tart pan, trim the edges, and prick the bottom with a fork.

Spread 1/2 cup of Dijon mustard evenly over the base of the tart.
