Fig and Grape Tart

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes one 4 x 14-inch tart

Ingredients

Pâte Sablée (page 654; do not divide dough into 2 pieces)
1 cup Almond Frangipane (page 655)
4 ounces figs (about 4), halved lengthwise, or quartered, if large
1/3 cup black seedless grapes, halved
1 tablespoon turbinado or other raw sugar
Gorgonzola dolce, for serving

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Press the dough into a 4 × 14-inch rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom. Refrigerate 10 minutes. Trim the dough flush with the top edge of the pan. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.

    Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line the tart shell with parchment, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are golden, about 15 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights; continue baking until the surface is golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.

    Step 3

    Spread the frangipane in the tart shell. Arrange the figs and grapes on top, pressing gently. Sprinkle with the sugar. Bake until golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool on a rack. Serve with Gorgonzola dolce.
