An elegant yet simple French-inspired dessert featuring caramelized figs, buttery puff pastry, crunchy pistachios, and a drizzle of salted honey. Rustic yet refined, perfect for entertaining or an elevated treat.

Ingredients

3 tbsp unsalted butter

1 1/2 lb ripe figs, stems trimmed and sliced 1/4 inch thick

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Kosher salt, as needed

1 sheet (14 oz) puff pastry, thawed

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup coarsely chopped pistachios

2 tbsp honey, plus additional for drizzling

Flaky sea salt, as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add figs and sauté until softened slightly.
  3. Stir in brown sugar and a pinch of kosher salt, cooking until glossy and jammy.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry into a 10-inch circle.
  5. Place pastry over the figs, tucking in the edges. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
  6. While baking, prepare honeyed pistachios: heat olive oil in a skillet, add pistachios, and toast briefly. Stir in honey and a pinch of salt, letting it bubble for 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  7. When the tart is finished, invert it onto a large platter with figs facing up.
  8. Top with honeyed pistachios, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and drizzle with extra honey before serving.

Notes

Fruit swaps: Try pears, apples, peaches, or plums instead of figs.

Pastry base: Substitute pie crust or phyllo dough if puff pastry isn’t available.

Nuts: Walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts can replace pistachios.

Sweeteners: Replace brown sugar with coconut sugar, or swap honey with maple syrup or agave.

Spices: Add cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg for warmth.

Best served fresh, but can be reheated in the oven for crispness.
