Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet (255g) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large (50g) egg
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) milk
  • 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) honey
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch (0.5g) salt
  • 12 oz (340g) fresh figs, stemmed and sliced into 3mm half-moons
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) melted butter
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) honey
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 equal rectangles.
  3. Lightly score a border about 1/2 inch (1.2cm) from the edge of each rectangle without cutting all the way through.
  4. Whisk the egg and milk together and brush the scored border of each rectangle with the wash.
  5. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp honey, vanilla, and salt until velvety and smooth.
  6. Spread approximately 1 tbsp of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each pastry rectangle, leaving the borders clean.
  7. Arrange the fig slices closely over the cream cheese in an overlapping pattern.
  8. Whisk the melted butter, 1 tbsp honey, and cinnamon together, then brush the glaze generously over the figs.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry edges have risen significantly and turned golden brown.
