Enhanced Fig and Goat Cheese Tart

Ingredients

Puff pastry

1 sheet, thawed

Goat cheese

8 ounces, softened

Fresh figs

8-10, sliced

Honey

2 tablespoons

Balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons

Fresh thyme leaves

1 tablespoon, chopped

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into your desired shape (rectangle or circle) to fit your baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Spread the softened goat cheese evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
4. Artfully arrange the sliced figs on top of the goat cheese, ensuring even coverage.
5. Drizzle honey and balsamic glaze generously over the figs, creating a delightful balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
6. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves, along with salt and pepper, evenly over the tart to enhance the taste.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the figs have softened.
8. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares or wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
