• Cut a sheet of thawed frozen puff pastry lengthwise into five strips, then cut crosswise into thirds to make 15 rectangles. Slice each rectangle diagonally to make 30 triangles. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese onto each triangle and top with a quartered fig. Wrap the pastry around the fig and press to seal. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with beaten egg and bake at 400˚ until puffed and golden, 18 to 20 minutes.

FIGS IN A BLANKET RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla and salt in a shallow dish. Combine the dried figs, dried apricots, nuts, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and toss to combine. Dip 4 of the bread slices in the egg mixture, then transfer to a clean surface. Top each slice with one-quarter of the fruit-nut mixture, then dip the remaining bread slices in the egg mixture and press on top to make 4 sandwiches. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the sandwiches until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. Transfer the sandwiches to the prepared baking sheet and bake until puffy and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, wipe out the skillet. Add the brown sugar, the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons water; cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Cut each sandwich in half and drizzle with the brown sugar sauce. Photograph by James Wojcik

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking pan with a parchment. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl.
• Roll the thawed puff pastry into a 12 1/2 by 12 1/2-inch square, trimming cleanly. Cut this in 5 equal rows in each direction to total 25 (2 1/2-inch) squares.
• Add 1 teaspoon fig preserves and 1/8 teaspoon marcona almonds to half of the squares. Top each with the remaining squares. Score all 4 sides with the tines of a fork, closing the openings well.
• Once all are complete, vent with 2 diagonal cuts and brush each lightly with the egg wash. Sprinkle the tops with the sea salt, place in the oven and bake until puffed and golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FIGS IN BLANKETS WITH PORT-MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Place figs in a 2-quart saucepan, add port, bring to a simmer, remove from heat and let soak, covered but not refrigerated, overnight.
• Make the dough: Cut the frozen butter in 8 pieces and grate using a shredding disc of a food processor. Change to the regular blade. Add the flour and pulse 15 or 20 times, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sour cream and pulse for a minute or so until the dough starts to come together.
• Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead briefly to form a smooth ball. Divide the dough in half and flatten each piece. Place each in a resealable sandwich bag, press out any air, seal the bag and use a rolling pin to roll the bag until the dough fills the bag, forming a square. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
• Drain figs, reserving the port; you should have about a half cup of the port. Spread figs on several layers of paper towel to dry for about 30 minutes. Return the port to the saucepan and boil 6 to 8 minutes until syrupy and reduced to 1/4 cup. Remove from heat and set aside. Cut a slit in each of the figs and insert a small nugget of the cheese, less than a half-inch, in each.
• Remove the dough from their bags by cutting the bags and peeling them off. On a lightly floured board roll one square of the dough into a rectangle 8-by-12 inches. Cut it in 8 strips each an inch wide, across the width of the rectangle. Cut each strip in thirds. You should have 24 pieces, each 1-by-4 inches. Wrap 24 of the figs in the strips of dough, moistening the ends to seal. Cover a baking sheet with foil. Place the wrapped figs on the baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with the other square of dough and figs.
• Make the sauce: Stir the mustard into the reduced port and transfer to a serving dish. This mixture will keep, refrigerated in a covered container, at least three weeks.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake wrapped figs about 35 minutes, until golden. Some of the figs may have oozed residue of the port which can be brushed off. Serve the baked figs at once or let cool and refrigerate or freeze. To reheat, let them come to room temperature, then warm at 250 degrees for 15 minutes. Serve with port-mustard sauce alongside for dipping.
