Time 1h2m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 eggs
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed in refrigerator for 30 minutes
1 (10-ounce) jar fig preserves, divided
1/4 cup marcona almonds, chopped fine, divided
Sea salt (recommended: Maldon)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking pan with a parchment. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl.
  • Roll the thawed puff pastry into a 12 1/2 by 12 1/2-inch square, trimming cleanly. Cut this in 5 equal rows in each direction to total 25 (2 1/2-inch) squares.
  • Add 1 teaspoon fig preserves and 1/8 teaspoon marcona almonds to half of the squares. Top each with the remaining squares. Score all 4 sides with the tines of a fork, closing the openings well.
  • Once all are complete, vent with 2 diagonal cuts and brush each lightly with the egg wash. Sprinkle the tops with the sea salt, place in the oven and bake until puffed and golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

½ stick unsalted butter
½ teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 packages crescent rolls

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 1/2-inch-thick slices white sandwich bread

Yield Makes 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
24 dried black Mission figs (medium or large), stems trimmed, halved
1 large egg
1 (14- or 17-ounce) box of puff pastry (preferably all-butter puff), thawed according to package directions
All-purpose flour (for surface)
6 1/2 ounces plain goat cheese
Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (for topping; optional)

Steps:

  • Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Stir vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and 1 cup water in a medium pot. Add figs and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until figs are softened and liquid has almost evaporated and is a syrupy consistency, 7-10 minutes. Transfer figs to a plate; let cool.
  • Beat egg with 1 Tbsp. water in a small bowl. If using a 14-ounce package with 1 sheet of pastry, roll pastry to an 18x12" rectangle on a lightly floured surface. If using a 17-ounce package with 2 sheets of pastry, roll each sheet to a 12x9" rectangle. Cut pastry along the 12" side into 12 (1-inch-wide) strips. Cut each strip crosswise into pieces about 4 1/2" long. You should have 48 (4 1/2x1") strips pastry.
  • Scoop a heaping 1/2 tsp. cheese and press into cut side of 1 fig half. Place fig half in the center of 1 pastry strip. Brush 1 end of pastry with egg wash and roll to enclose. Transfer seam side down to prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining cheese, figs, and pastry. Brush top of each pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds, if using. Bake pastries, rotating and switching sheets top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and puffed, 15-18 minutes.
