Instructions
Roasted Figs
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cut off the stem of each fig, and then cut each fig in half, lengthwise. Place the figs on the parchment paper.
- Drizzle the figs with honey, and sherry, and sprinkle with the black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
- Place the figs in the oven and roast for 20 - 30 minutes, until the figs start to caramelize on the surface.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool. Use immediately OR store in an air-tight container in the the fridge for up to 5 days.
Herbed Goat Cheese Filling
- Place all the ingredients in a bowl and use a spoon to mix everything together. Adjust the amount of cream you add depending on the consistency that you prefer. The cheese filling should be creamy and pipeable.
- Place the goat cheese in an uncut piping bag, or an air-tight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Assembling the Tartlets (best assembled just before serving, but can be kept for up to an hour without getting soggy).
- Place the mini phyllo cups on a tray.
- Snip off the edge of the goat cheese filled piping bag. You can attach an open star tip if you like, but a round opening is perfectly fine too.
- Pipe the goat cheese filling into each of the phyllo cups. Top with one half of a roasted fig. Drizzle with honey before serving.
