Simple fig tart

What can be served with this tart?

Ingredients · Servings 8 parts
  • 1 unit puff pastry or shortcrust pastry
  • 600 g fresh figs
  • 50 g sucre
  • 1 egg unit
  • 1 carton of cream with 15% fat
  • 40 g brown sugar
  • pinch 1 cinnamon
Method · 10 min
  1. Heat a pan, add the stemmed figs cut in half (or quarters depending on size), then the sugar. Caramelize for 5 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, mix the cream, egg, brown sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Add the figs to this mixture.
  4. Place the dough in a tart tin. Pour the contents of the bowl into it.
  5. Bake at 180°C (thermostat 6) for 35 to 40 minutes.

A dollop of crème fraîche or plain yogurt can complement the sweetness of figs with a touch of acidity. A scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside a slice of warm pie offers a wonderful contrast of flavors and temperatures. You can also add a savory dimension with cheese, such as goat cheese, blue cheese, or brie, which pair perfectly with figs.
