Ingredients
- 8- by-10-inch rectangle of frozen puff pastry thawed in the refrigerator
- 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces grated Manchego cheese
- 8 fresh figs sliced
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 6 slices of Prosciutto
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 bunch washed and rinsed Arugula
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll the thawed puff pastry into a rectangle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Drizzle the pastry with 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle half of the grated Manchego evenly over the surface. Arrange the fig slices on top of the cheese.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is puffed and golden, about 15 minutes.
-
While the tart bakes, toss the arugula with a small drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. When the tart is done, remove it from the oven and scatter the remaining Manchego, the dressed arugula and torn prosciutto over the top. Finish with a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar if desired. Cut into portions and serve warm or at room temperature.
