Grease the June Egg Pan
Brush each June Egg Pan well lightly with butter.

Butter the filo
Unfold 2 filo sheets and line their short sides up on a work surface, overlapping them slightly to make one long sheet. Brush the top of the filo all over with a very light coat of butter. Don’t worry if the sheets tear or if you don’t cover every inch with butter. Cover the unused filo with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.

Form the first pastry
Using your fingers, bundle and fold the filo into a long, loose rumpled strip about 3” wide. Loosely wind the filo strip up to form a spiral about the size of an egg pan well. Fluff the rose with your fingers to loosen any folds that are too compact.
Form the remaining pastries
Repeat with the remaining filo to make 6 ruffled roses. Transfer the roses to the prepared egg pan wells. Gently brush any extra butter over the pastries.
Bake the pastries
Place the egg pan on the middle shelf of the oven. Cook the pastries 11 minutes, until the filo is brown and crisp on top. June will notify you when to add the custard.
Make the custard mixture
While the pastry cooks, combine the milk or half-and-half, egg, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a spouted measuring cup or bowl, or regular bowl. Whisk until smooth.
1 cup whole milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
medium bowl
liquid measuring cup

Add the custard
When June notifies you, remove the egg pan from the oven and set it on a cooling rack. Keep the oven hot using the button below. Whisk the custard mixture to recombine and carefully pour it over the pastries until the wells are almost full, dividing it evenly between the wells. Be careful not to overfill the wells.

Bake the roses
Transfer the egg pan to the middle shelf of the oven. Bake the roses 5 minutes, until the custard is just set. June will notify you when the tarts are ready. If necessary, follow onscreen instructions to continue cooking.
Cool slightly and serve
When June notifies you, remove the egg pan from the oven and set it on a cooling rack. Allow the tarts to cool at least 1 minute in the pan before carefully unmolding with an offset spatula or knife to serve. Drizzle the roses with honey and dust with powdered sugar, if using. Sprinkle with flaky salt, if using. Serve warm.
