Recipe Information
Step by step guide to making Fig, thyme and goats' cheese tart
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC, fan 160°C, gas mark 4. Brush an 18cm round loose-bottomed cake tin with a little of the oil, then line with 1 sheet of the filo pastry.
- Layer the remaining sheets of pastry, laying the sheets on top of each other, brushing with oil between each layer.
- Put the crème fraîche, milk, grated hard cheese, eggs and most of the thyme in a bowl and mix together.
- Stir in the crumbled goats' cheese, season with black pepper, then pour the mixture into the tart.
- Arrange the halved figs, cut-side up, over the top and scatter over the remaining thyme. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, until golden and set.
- Let the tart cool slightly, then slice and serve with the salad.
Cook's tip: If you're not a fan of goats' cheese, try using tangy, crumbly white Cheshire cheese in its place - it works just as well.
