This decadent Spiced Fig Tart with Blue Cheese Crumble is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy night in. The unexpected flavor combination will surely impress your taste buds!

Ingredients:

• 500g fresh figs (halved)
• 150g brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 200g all-purpose flour
• 150g cold butter (cubed)
• 100g blue cheese (crumbled)
• 2 tbsp honey

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• pastry cutter
• tart pan
• oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Place the fig halves in the bowl and toss them gently until coated with the sugar mixture.

In a separate mixing bowl, make the crumble topping by combining the flour and cold butter. Use a pastry cutter to mix them together until crumbly. Stir in the crumbled blue cheese to add a savory twist to the topping.

Press the crumble mixture into the bottom of a tart pan to create a crust. Arrange the sugar-coated fig halves on top of the crust in a decorative pattern. Drizzle the honey over the figs for an extra touch of sweetness.

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the figs are tender. The aroma of warm spices and melted blue cheese will fill your kitchen, signaling that the tart is ready to be enjoyed.

Once baked, allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing into servings. Each bite offers a delightful mix of flavors and textures, from the caramelized figs to the buttery crumble topping with a hint of blue cheese.

This Spiced Fig Tart with Blue Cheese Crumble weighs approximately 1200g once cooked. It serves 8 people, with each serving weighing around 150g. A serving of this unique dessert is estimated to be around 350 calories.

One clever tip for enhancing the flavor of this tart is to sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before serving. The saltiness will complement the sweetness of the figs and the richness of the blue cheese, creating a perfectly balanced dessert experience.
