About the bake
These adorable little tartlets are ideal for a quick lunchtime bite, picnic or to serve at a special dinner party. The crisp filo pastry cases go beautifully with the classic combination of caramelised onions and goats cheese. Topped with a slice of fig and drizzle of honey – perfection!
