Small individual open pastries baked with a sweet or savoury topping or filling are called tarts, or tartlets. A larger, pie-sized, open pastry case cooked with sweet or savoury topping or filling is also called a tart.

Pastry for tarts may be pre-baked and filled with pre-cooked or pre-prepared fillings, to be eaten cold. Some fruit tarts are made with pre-baked pastry cases which are then filled with prepared (not necessarily cooked) fruits and then glazed with warmed jam or jelly for an attractive glossy finish.

Fillings which are baked in the tart are often topped with decorative pastry, such as criss-cross or lattice effects, before baking.
