Neither savory nor sweet, neither breakfast nor lunch, this Fig Tartlet recipe is a great little treat in between meals. I do have to admit that I have rarely had an urge to bite directly into a fig fresh off the tree, but a nice fig and cheese starter on a menu often grabs my attention. Check out this easy, beautiful recipe for a quick fix for afternoon guests.
