During my recent glut of figs, I made a whole wheat tarte crust
following the recipe for pastry in the Joy of Cooking. I baked it
till it was nearly done, painted it with an egg yolk wash and baked it
some more to seal the pastry. Then I mixed the rest of the egg yolk
with about 1/4 cup pureed figs and spread it on the crust. Over this,
I lay 1/4 inch fig slices to cover the puree. On top, I painted a
thick fig balsamic reduction and popped it back in the oven till the
liquids were bubbly and the figs were cooked.

I served it with a little softened chevre.
