Salted Honey Pistachio Fig Tarte (Print)
Sweet figs, honey, and pistachios baked in golden pastry with a touch of sea salt for a stunning dessert.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
3 tbsp butter
02 -
1 ½ lb fresh figs, stems removed and sliced ¼ inch thick
03 -
½ cup brown sugar
04 -
Kosher salt, as needed
05 -
1 (14 oz) sheet puff pastry, thawed
06 -
1 tbsp olive oil
07 -
½ cup pistachios, roughly chopped
08 -
2 tbsp honey, plus more for drizzling
09 -
Flaky sea salt, as needed
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the figs and sauté for 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the brown sugar and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir until the sugar has melted and simmer the mixture for 1-2 minutes to thicken.
02 -
Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Trim the edges to create a roughly 10-inch circle. Lay the pastry dough over the figs, tucking the sides around the edges to completely cover the figs.
03 -
Place the cast-iron skillet into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed.
04 -
When the tarte tatin is almost finished baking, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and pistachios, toasting them briefly. Add the honey and a generous pinch of salt. Stir to combine and cook for 30 seconds before turning off the heat.
05 -
Remove the skillet from the oven. Place a large cutting board over the skillet and carefully invert to release the tarte tatin onto the board. Spoon the honeyed pistachios over the top, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and cut into slices. Serve warm with an extra drizzle of honey, if desired.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Be cautious while inverting the hot skillet onto the board to avoid burns.
