Description
A creamy and elegant tart made with fresh figs, rich brie, and fluffy ricotta on a buttery homemade crust, perfectly balanced between sweet and savory and ideal for sharing.
Ingredients
- Fresh figs: 6 medium figs, halved
- Brie cheese: 120 grams, sliced
- Ricotta cheese: 200 grams, full fat
- All purpose flour: 180 grams
- Unsalted butter: 120 grams, cold and cubed
- Eggs: 2 large eggs
- Honey: 2 tablespoons
- Fresh thyme leaves: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 0.5 teaspoon
Instructions
- Combine the all purpose flour and salt in a mixing bowl, add the cold cubed butter, and rub it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add a few tablespoons of cold water and mix just until the dough comes together. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a tart pan, trimming any excess dough from the edges.
- Prebake the crust in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10 minutes until lightly set.
- In a bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, honey, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the prebaked crust.
- Arrange the brie slices and fig halves evenly on top of the filling.
- Bake the tart for 30 minutes until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use cold butter for the crust to ensure a flaky texture.
- Let the tart rest for a few minutes after baking so the filling sets properly.
- Choose ripe but firm figs for the best flavor and presentation.
