Gruyére and fig tarts

These gruyére and fig tarts are made with puff pastry - you can use gluten-free version, if preferred or needed. They are prefect for a quick and easy lunch with salad on the side; or if you made smaller tarts, you can  serve them as party nibbles or appetizer at a dinner party. Next time I’ll add some crushed walnuts too.

  • 3 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced

  1. Unroll the puff pastry on a sheet of parchment paper, then cut it into 3 or 4 rectangles.
  2. Grate the cheese and scatter this in the middle of each tart.
  3. Mix the chopped rosemary, garlic with a pinch of course salt and black pepper using a pestle and mortar.
  4. Sprinkle this mixture over the cheese.
  5. Slice each fig into 4 pieces.
  6. Arrange the fig pieces on top of the cheese then drizzle some honey over them.
  7. Create a rim by folding about 1 cm pastry over the filling, pinching the corners together.
  8. Rest it in the fridge while preheating the oven to 180°C.
  9. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and put the tarts on it.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the pastry looks golden brown and it has cooked through properly.
  11. Drizzle with more honey just before serving.
