  • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tart pan.

  • Lightly score a 1-inch border around the edge of the pastry to create the crust edge.

  • Spread the ricotta mixture evenly inside the scored border.

  • Arrange the sliced figs over the ricotta layer.

  • Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese evenly over the tart.

Notes

Use ripe but firm figs for the best texture and flavor.Puff pastry should be cold but pliable when rolling it out.If the pastry puffs too much in the center, gently press it down after baking.This tart can be served warm or at room temperature.Walnuts or pecans can be added for extra crunch.
