Autumn’s coming, and while I feel sad that I probably have my last few nectarines (aka the absolute best fruit) of 2024 on my counter right now, I can also appreciate the good things the shift in seasons brings. Fresh figs come around this time of year, but they’ll be gone in a snap, so it’s nice to make something that showcases them, like this Fig and Goat Cheese Tart. The filling’s an easy, tangy mix of seasoned soft goat cheese and yogurt topped with a pile of fresh figs– some baked and some raw– glossed with balsamic vinegar. Because the goat cheese filling isn’t cooked, I wasn’t sure how the brisée crust would hold up over the course of a few days if I made a large tart, so I did just a couple of mini ones for a nice weekend lunch. This is easy and elegant, sweet and savory, summer and fall, all in one.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it twice a month. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!

Mini ones was the way to go, my crust did get soft over time. Nice that we were able to get fresh figs in season. Here’s to fall.
