These simple tarts are the perfect way to end a summer time meal whether you are lucky enough to be eating outdoors or just sitting in the kitchen dreaming of sunshine.

Figs and feta go together like the proverbial peas and carrots as Forrest Gump would say but they are a tad sweeter!

Trying to come up with quick and easy dessert ideas that don’t involve opening a carton of ice-cream can sometimes be a bit of a challenge.

But this super easy recipe for fig and feta tarts with thyme and honey takes care of that. It’s quite a grown-up dessert too so perfect for a supper party.

A flavour fest

I love the juxtaposition of the sweetness of the figs and honey in this recipe with the tang of Greek yogurt and lemon zest and the salty savouriness of the feta cheese. Quite a combination of flavours but one that really works.

You can make your own shortcrust pastry or just do as I have done here and buy the ready-made rolled out store-bought variety.

Quite honestly life is just sometimes too short and busy to make your own pastry.

How many fig and feta tarts will this make?

This recipe  will make 6 tarts and you can either serve them warm or cold, the choice is yours.

Either way they are delicious and the perfect ending to a meal with a little cup of Greek coffee or espresso and maybe even a little Metaxa (Greek brandy) on the side.

How to serve these tarts

A scattering of thyme flowers just makes these fig and feta tarts so pretty, they are good enough to serve up at any dinner party.

This one really is Greek sunshine on a plate. Add some good quality vanilla ice-cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt if you like.
