Number Of Ingredients 11

8 fresh figs, preferably Black Mission
1 1/2 cups skinned (6 ounces) hazelnuts, toasted
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 large egg
1 egg white
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon brandy
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
Non stick vegetable-oil spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut 6 figs into 3/4-inch dice. Set aside in a bowl.
  • In a food processor, process nuts until medium fine. Sift together flour and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar; add to nuts; pulse to combine. Add egg, egg white, butter, brandy, pepper, and zest. Process to combine, about 10 seconds. Add batter to figs, and mix together.
  • Spray four 3 3/4-inch (or one 8-inch) tart pans with vegetable-oil spray. Divide batter evenly among the pans. Cut remaining 2 figs lengthwise into 6 slices each. Arrange 3 slices over each tart. Place tart pans on a baking sheet. Bake until tarts are set and golden brown, about 40 minutes (for individual tarts or one large tart). Remove from oven and cool slightly. Remove tarts from pans, sprinkle with remaining sugar, and serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these tarts were a complete disaster. They were so bad that I had to throw them away.

These tarts were a lot of work and they didn't turn out very well. I wouldn't recommend them.

I wasn't a fan of the hazelnut flavor in these tarts. I think I would have preferred them without nuts.

These tarts are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

I had a little trouble getting the crust to come together, but once I did, the tarts turned out great.

These fig and hazelnut tarts were a hit at my dinner party! The combination of sweet figs and crunchy hazelnuts was perfect, and the crust was flaky and flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again.
