Ingredients

100g streaky bacon, finely chopped
1 sheet butter puff pastry
100g fig paste
125g brie
fresh thyme, for sprinkling
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

Fry bacon in a non-stick pan until crisp and drain on absorbent paper. Cut each sheet of pastry into 16 squares and press into non-stick patty pans. Prick bases with a fork. Mix fig paste with a spoon to soften it and add ½ teaspoon into each pastry case. Top with bacon. Bake at 200°C for 10 minutes until puffed and golden. Cut brie into 16 wedges. Place a wedge of Brie in each tart and sprinkle with fresh thyme and pepper. Bake a further 5 minutes until Brie just softens and serve warm dolloped with remaining fig paste.
