Thin tart with figs, brie and walnuts

Meltingly tender figs, perfectly gooey brie, and a golden puff pastry: this delicate tart is simply irresistible! On a base of ricotta mixed with honey, walnuts, and rosemary, slices of figs and cheese are layered side by side for a simple yet delicious sweet and savory combination.

Method · 30 min
  1. In a bowl, prepare the pie base by mixing the ricotta, crushed walnut kernels, honey, rosemary, salt and pepper.
  2. Cut the figs into even slices.
  3. Cut slices of brie.
  4. Place the puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and create a small border using a knife, without cutting completely through the pastry.
  5. Spread the ricotta mixture over the base of the tart, leaving the edge empty.
  6. Alternate between a layer of figs and a layer of brie.
  7. Fold over the edge (you can flatten it slightly with a fork) and brush it with egg yolk for a golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes at 190°C (375°F).
  8. And there you have it! You can finish the decoration by adding a drizzle of honey, a few more crushed walnuts and a drizzle of olive oil;)
