Take-out Tuesday, Fig, Pear & Prosciutto Tart

the Painted Apron

4 years ago

This delightful tart can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner

The puff pastry crust is light and flaky

and the filling is a mouthwatering mix of sweet and tangy flavor

Fig spread, fresh pear slices, and prosciutto are a tasty combo

and with bleu cheese and a Parmesan mix…

it is a home run!

Put a sheet of thawed puff pastry on a piece of parchment paper

Roll it out a little and score the perimeter with a sharp knife

forming an edge

Prick it all over with the tines of a fork to keep it from puffing up

which I forgot to do 😱

Bake the pastry at 400 degrees for 10-11 minutes until golden

Spread crust with a layer of fig jam

I microwaved mine for 30 seconds to make it easier to spread

Top jam with bleu cheese, or substitute another flavorful cheese

like Gruyère, Vermont sharp white cheddar, or Manchego

Top with prosciutto, tearing it into pieces

and removing any large pieces of fat

Top prosciutto with pear slices

Place shaved Parmesan over all

At this point you can refrigerate this for baking later if desired

Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes until it is golden and melty

Cut into squares and enjoy!
