fig tart

Mediterranean dessert item

A fig tart is a pastry featuring figs as the primary filling, typically baked in a shallow crust.

The figs may be fresh or dried, often paired with honey, almond cream, or mascarpone.

Like other fruit tarts, it balances the sweetness of the fruit against a buttery, sometimes flaky shell: We finished dinner with a warm fig tart.
