Description

A delicious and elegant Fig and Blue Cheese Mini Tarts recipe: crisp pie crusts filled with sweet fig jam and savory, pungent blue cheese. A perfect, quick, bite-sized party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of a 14-ounce package)

  • 1/4 cup fig jam

  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

s

  1. Preheat oven and prepare tin: Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly coat a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

  2. Prepare Crust: Unroll pie crust on a clean surface and roll into a 12-inch circle. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut 24 circles.

  3. Blind Bake: Press dough circles into muffin cups. Prick the dough with a fork. Bake until lightly browned, 5–6 minutes.

  4. Fill & Finish Bake: Add 1/2 teaspoon fig jam to each cup, then top with 1/2 teaspoon crumbled blue cheese. Bake 3–5 minutes more, until hot.

  5. Serve: Let cool 10 minutes. Sprinkle with chives, if using, and serve.

Notes

  • Dough Cutting: Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter ensures uniform, perfect circles for the mini muffin tin.

  • Serving Temperature: Serve these tarts warm. The heat enhances the flavor of the fig jam and softens the sharp blue cheese.

  • Cheese Choice: For a milder flavor, substitute blue cheese with crumbled goat cheese or a soft, creamy Brie.

  • Make Ahead: The tart crusts can be baked several hours in advance. Store them at room temperature and fill/bake just before serving.

  • Crust Option: Look for pre-rolled pie dough in the refrigerated case, or make your own if you prefer.
