Salty, sour & sweet- this recipe has it all! It's summer and figs are in season. This simple crostini is great because you get to plan how much of each ingredient you want based on your own taste level. But trust me, you definitely want to have a good amount of each in every bite. Enjoy!

It's so hard to not to illustrate this recipe as I love illustrate figs and open-faced sandwich!

The first time I made this tart, I was speechless. Then I freaked out. So simple, so decadent yet made with such nourishing ingredients - an array of expletives and praise were murmured under my breath as I gobbled up every last crumb. Hooray for pear + fig tarts!

Delicious and easy recipes with Figs!

It's very important how one serves easy to make desserts like these. Use some fancy glasses for the Milk Rice Pudding instead of a basic bowl. Add a lot of extras and garnishes. Make it a feast for the eyes as well for the tongue. Experiment with different fruits. This is just the base.
