Fig, mascarpone and goat cheese – a perfect blend of sweet and savory to kick off 2024 in style.
Ingredients:
1 puff pastry sheet (homemade or store bought, thawed)
1/2 lb. figs (fresh , cut into ¼ inch slices)
4 oz. mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup goat cheese (classic chèvre, crumbled)
1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
2 Tbsp. clover honey
2 tsp. coarse salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375˚F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with flour. Place puff pastry sheet on top of the dusted paper. Poke the puff pastry a few times with a fork.
Gently spread mascarpone cheese in a thin layer on top of the puff pastry.
Lay fig slices on top of the mascarpone. Sprinkle with the goat cheese and on a middle rack in the oven.
Bake for 20 minutes, until puff pastry has risen around the figs and turns golden brown.
Cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with honey and top with thyme leaves and salt. Serve warm.
