Savory Fig Tart
This easy fig tart pairs sweet figs with sautéed onion and creamy mascarpone cheese.
Servings: 9 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 small red onion sliced into thin slivers
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 4 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 5 fresh figs sliced, plus more as needed
- 1 large egg beaten
Instructions
- Add butter to a sauté pan and set over medium heat. Once melted, add the onions and cook until very soft. This will take about 20 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and cook 5 minutes more. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Unfold/unroll puff pastry and lay on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Prick all over with a fork, leaving a half-inch border. Spread the mascarpone cheese over the same area. Scatter the onions across the tart, and top with slices of fig. Using a pastry brush, apply the beaten egg to the border.
- Cook for about 20 minutes, until the edges are puffed and brown.
