Fig and Three Cheese Tart Recipe

 

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2-3 tbsp ice water

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup pecorino cheese, grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

 

For the Topping:

  • 4-6 fresh figs, sliced
  • Honey, for drizzling
  • Extra thyme leaves for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Tart Crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Add cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add ice water, stirring until the mixture forms a ball. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough and press it into a 23cm aluminium tart pan. Refrigerate for another 15 minutes.

Bake the Crust:

  • Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, remove weights and parchment, and bake for another 10 minutes until golden. Let cool.

Make the Cheese Filling:

  • In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, blue cheese, and pecorino cheese. Mix in eggs, heavy cream, spring onions, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the filling into the cooled crust.

Bake the Tart:

  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden.

Add the Fig Topping:

  • Arrange sliced figs on top of the baked tart.
  • Drizzle with honey and garnish with extra thyme leaves.

Serve:

  • Let the tart cool slightly before slicing.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
