Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
2. Mix the blue cheese and the milk until creamy .
3. Chop roughly the nuts and add to the blue cheese. Add the thyme leaves, stir well. If necessary, add a little more milk to have a spreadable consistency.
4. Cut the figs in half then into thin slices .
5. Roll out the pastry onto a lightly floured surface and, using a pastry cutter or mug, cut out 10-12 cm diameter circular shapes. You should get about 4 or 6 disks. Fold the edges slightly to form a rim then place them onto a lined baking sheet.
6. Starting from the centre spread the cheese mixture onto the tartlets up to the rim. Season with pepper then arrange the fig slices on top, slightly overlapping.
7. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden and the figs are soft.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature.
