Fig & Spiced Goat Cheese Tart
Just trust me on the black pepper. It’s the bridge between the savory cheese and the sweet figs. The sweet, ripe, juicy figs. Drizzled in honey. And sprinkled with pistachios.
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- ½ cup goat cheese 4 ounces
- ¼ cup cream cheese 2 ounces
- ½ teaspoon grated orange zest
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch ground black pepper
- Pinch ground cloves
- Pinch ground ginger
- 16 figs halved
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Press crust into 9-inch tart pan; cut off excess crust hanging over edge. Use fork to poke several holes in bottom of crust. Line crust with parchment paper; fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove pie weights and parchment paper; transfer crust to wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, place goat cheese and cream cheese in small microwave-safe bowl and microwave 15 seconds. Add orange zest, cinnamon, pepper, cloves and ginger and mash with fork until well combined.
- Spread cheese mixture evenly in bottom of cooled tart crust. Arrange figs over cheese; drizzle with honey and sprinkle with pistachios.
