Method
step 1
Unroll the pastry onto a baking sheet. Score a border 2cm in from the edge and prick the inside with a fork. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
step 2
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Beat the cheese, ground almonds, egg yolk and sugar together in a bowl. Cut the figs into thick slices. Bake the tart case (unfilled) for 10 minutes.
step 3
Take out of the oven and gently push down the centre which will have puffed up. Let it cool a little then spread the cheese mix inside the border and lay the figs on top, choosing similar sized slices for a neater finish.
step 4
Bake for another 20-30 minutes until the filling is light golden and puffed a little. Scatter over the flaked almonds and finish with a drizzle of honey. Serve just warm.
