Servings: 6

Ingredients

Frozen puff pastry (1 sheet, thawed)
Goat cheese (6 ounces, softened)
Fresh figs (6, sliced)
Honey (2 tablespoons)
Fresh thyme leaves (1 tablespoon)
Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
Cut the pastry into 6 equal squares, each about 4 inches wide.
Place the puff pastry squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each square.
In the center of each square, spread a generous spoonful of softened goat cheese, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top the goat cheese with a few slices of fresh figs, arranging them artistically.
Drizzle honey over the figs, then sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the tartlets cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
