Fig and Goats Cheese Tart

This tart is so quick and easy to prepare, especially after a long day in the kitchen at work when the last thing I want to do is come home and cook again! This is one of my favourite recipes. You could also add a couple of slices of prosciutto on top of the figs – the prosciutto goes deliciously crispy when baked.

Ingredients

  • Puff pastry rectangle measuring roughly 26cm x 12cm
  • 60g soft goat’s cheese
  • Fresh thyme
  • 3 ripe figs quarters
  • Honey

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C fan/220°C
  2. Place the puffed pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Define the crust of the pastry but scoring a 2cm border around the edge of the pastry.
  3. Dot most of the goat’s cheese evenly over the base of the pastry, avoiding the border. Season with a twist or two of black pepper before placing the fig quarters on top of the goat’s cheese. Sprinkle the remaining goats cheese over the top of the figs.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes. Let the tart cool for a minute or two, then drizzle with honey and serve.
