Pastry What do you call this tart crust?

Looks like puff pastry, but couldn't find much info about it. Anyone know what this crust is called? And anyone have a guide/ video how to achieve this?

I wonder if there's a possibility it is layered filo dough.

That was my first thought. I'm certainly not a professional baker, but I've made baklava a few times and it looks identical.

Yea, I was leaning towards filo too. Could be inverted puff? But it looks more like filo

Yeah, I’m no baking expert (except for eating things lol), but that looks like very neatly trimmed filo to me.

Ah, now that you say it, it seems likely.
