Fresh Fig and Goat Cheese Tart

Description

I wanted to make some sort of crostata or galette-type, free-form tart which I’ve done successfully in the past (and have the video to prove it). But instead of using standard pie crust dough, I decided to try something a little more rustic and savory, using spelt flour and olive oil. I knew this would pair beautifully with the sweet fruit and tangy cheese, but it ended up being way too crumbly. So, I just crumbled it into the bottom of a shallow ramekin and the rest is history.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sprouted spelt flour
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water, or more as needed
  • 8 ounces cold creamy fresh goat cheese
  • 4 Black Mission figs, sliced
  • 4 pinches kosher salt
  • 4 tiny pinches cayenne pepper
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 4 sprigs fresh lemon thyme
