Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 8.5 oz fig jam or preserves
  • 8 oz brie cheese or 1 small wheel
  • 2 firm pears thinly sliced (Bosc or Anjou)
  • 6 slices prosciutto torn
  • 1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water for egg wash
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 2 tbsp pistachios chopped
  • fresh thyme leaves for garnish
  • flaky sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out the puff pastry slightly on the parchment to smooth the surface. Score a one-inch border around all sides without cutting through.
  • Spread the entire jar of fig jam evenly within the scored border.
  • Arrange the pears and brie in alternating rows down the length of the tart, using groups of four pear slices fanned out between each slice of brie.
  • Place the prosciutto folds sporadically across the top.
  • Sprinkle half of the thyme and a small pinch of flaky salt over the tart. Fold up each side of the pastry so the edges slightly overlap the filling, and brush them with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before topping with the chopped pistachios, remaining thyme, honey, and balsamic glaze. Add another small pinch of flaky salt.
  • Allow the tart to cool slightly to help the fig jam set. Slice into 8 to 10 pieces and serve.
