Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 sheet flaky pastry
- 1 jar fig jam
- 250g fresh goat cheese
- 2 tbsp dried rosemary
- 4 tbsp honey
- 4 tbsp water
- 4-5 fresh large figs
- Walnuts or pine nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the flaky pastry into a tart shell or tin, ensuring it fits snugly. Prick the base all over with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
- Pre-bake the pastry for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, place a heavy plate or pie weights in the middle to weigh it down, and return it to the oven. Bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 10 more minutes.
- While the pastry is baking, mix the fig jam with water in a small saucepan over low heat until it becomes a spreadable consistency.
- Once the pastry is ready, spread the fig jam evenly over the base.
- Scatter the fresh goat cheese over the jam layer.
- Slice the fresh figs and arrange them on top of the cheese.
- Sprinkle dried rosemary over the figs and drizzle with honey.
- If using, sprinkle walnuts or pine nuts on top for added texture.
- Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the figs are soft and the cheese is slightly melted.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Adjust the amount of honey to your taste preference. Serve the tart warm or at room temperature, possibly with a side salad for a light meal. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving. You can substitute fresh rosemary for dried if preferred.
