Fig Tart with Honey Whipped Goat Cheese
This fig tart with honey whipped goat cheese is one of my favorite recipes. It’s perfect for brunch, breakfast, entertaining, appetizers and more! I love it because light and fresh yet rich and creamy. I like recommend it with balsamic glaze, basil and flaky salt. And if you’re not a truffle fan, simply leave it out!

Instructions
For the Honey Whipped Goat Cheese
- Add goat cheese, heavy cream, honey and truffle oil to a food processor or blender and blend for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
For the Fig Tart
- Preheat your oven to 400F degrees.
- Place the thawed out puff pastry on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Use a sharp knife to score a “frame” around the perimeter of the puff pastry to create a crust/filling area. Now take a fork and poke holes in the middle of the puff pastry.
- Add 1 egg and 1 tablespoon milk to a small bowl and whisk. Brush this mixture over the top of the puff pastry to create a shiny golden crust.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- Once cooled, add the honey whipped goat cheese to the middle of the puff pastry and smooth it out.
- Top with the fresh figs, a drizzle of balsamic glaze and fresh basil.
- Cut into squares and finish with a sprinkle of maldon salt if you have it.
