Brie, Fig And Prosciutto Tarts - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    5 tbsp cold butter, diced
    1 None large egg yolk
    2 None figs, quartered
    1 tsp balsamic vinegar
    7 oz Brie, sliced
    2 slices prosciutto, torn
    None None Arugula, for garnish
    None None Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Preparation
    Sift flour and a pinch of salt together into a large bowl. Add butter. Rub in using fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add yolk and enough iced water (up to 1 tsp) to make a firm but pliable dough. Knead lightly, then press out to a flat disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 mins.
    Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Roll pastry out between 2 sheets of parchment paper until 1/8 inch thick. Halve dough and use each half to line a 4 inch round springform tart pan. Chill for 15 mins.
    Line each crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Place on a baking tray and blind bake for 15 mins. Remove paper and weights. Bake for another 8-10 mins, until lightly golden.
    In a bowl, toss figs and balsamic vinegar together. Arrange Brie, prosciutto and figs in tart crusts. Bake for 8-10 mins, until cheese melts and figs are golden. Serve topped with arugula and drizzled with a little olive oil.
