Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 12 pieces Fresh black mission figs, halved lengthwise
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Aged balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet, thawed
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon Honey(optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Orange zest
  • 1 large Egg (for wash)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface, cutting a circle slightly larger than your 9-inch oven-proof skillet.

  2. 2

    In the skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the granulated sugar until it begins to melt and turn a light amber color.

  3. 3

    Carefully pour in the balsamic vinegar and add the chopped rosemary, whisking constantly as the mixture bubbles and thickens into a glaze.

  4. 4

    Arrange the fig halves cut-side down in the skillet, packing them tightly in a circular pattern to cover the entire bottom of the pan.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the figs with sea salt and orange zest, then cook undisturbed for 3-5 minutes until the juices start to release and mingle with the caramel.

  6. 6

    Drape the puff pastry circle over the figs, tucking the edges down into the sides of the skillet using a spoon.

  7. 7

    Brush the pastry with a beaten egg wash and prick a few steam vents in the top with a knife.

  8. 8

    Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is deep golden brown, then let cool for 5 minutes before carefully inverting onto a serving plate.
