A delicious and elegant Fig and Goat Cheese Tart featuring flaky puff pastry topped with creamy goat cheese, fresh figs, and a touch of honey and thyme. Perfect as a savory-sweet appetizer or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

Cheese and Toppings

  • 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • 6–8 fresh figs, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the tart evenly.
  2. Prepare puff pastry: Lightly flour your workspace and roll out the thawed puff pastry into an even rectangle or desired shape. Transfer it carefully onto a baking sheet to maintain shape while baking.
  3. Add goat cheese: Evenly spread the crumbled goat cheese over the puff pastry, covering the surface but leaving a small border around the edges for crispiness.
  4. Layer figs: Arrange the sliced fresh figs over the goat cheese, spacing them evenly to ensure every bite has a perfect balance of flavors.
  5. Drizzle and season: Drizzle honey over the figs and cheese to add a lovely sweetness. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top, and season lightly with salt and pepper to enhance the overall flavor.
  6. Bake the tart: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
  7. Serve warm: Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Fresh figs can be substituted with dried figs soaked in warm water if out of season, although fresh is preferred.
  • For added texture, sprinkle some chopped walnuts or almonds before baking.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, use gluten-free puff pastry.
  • This tart pairs well with a light salad or a glass of chilled white wine.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
