Notes

Tip: For a richer flavor, use a combination of honey and brown sugar for caramelizing the figs.

For an extra touch, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the caramelized figs to enhance their sweetness. If fresh figs are not available, dried figs can be rehydrated in warm water and used as a substitute.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven to restore the crust’s crispness before serving.
