Cooking mefites:
Decades ago I frequented a German cafe that served what they called "nusstorte" (nut tart). I'm still dreaming about it, but when I Google nusstorte it's something completely different.
It was a small nut-packed tart. It contained several types of whole nuts and seeds densely packed into a shortcrust, with a not-too-sweet sticky stuff holding it all together. (This sticky stuff in no way resembled the vaguely gelatinous stuff in a typical pecan pie, which I loathe.) No top crust. NO chocolate. A tiny slice was enough because it had so many nuts in it.
It looked something like this one from Splendid Table.
Do you have a tried-and-true recipe for a dense, delicious, and not-too-sweet nut/seed tart with no top crust? Please share!

They have those in the bakery in my town. They’re called tarte aux noix. Like this?

In French but google will translate. It’s essentially nuts bound with caramel in a shortbread crust.
