# What You'll Need:

# How to Make It:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

03 - Lightly brush the entire pastry surface, excluding the scored border, with olive oil.
04 - Arrange the sliced figs evenly over the pastry, keeping the border clear.
05 - Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over the figs and scatter fresh thyme leaves if using.

07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
08 - Remove from oven and immediately drizzle the remaining truffle oil and honey over the warm pizza.
09 - Slice into portions and serve promptly.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes ridiculously gourmet but uses barely any effort or technique.
  • The mix of sweet honey and earthy truffle hits that perfect savory sweet balance that keeps people coming back for another slice.
  • You can pull it together in half an hour and still impress anyone who walks into your kitchen.
02 -
  • If the puff pastry isnt fully thawed, it tears when you try to roll it, so give it at least 30 minutes at room temperature first.
  • Dont skip scoring that border, it creates a natural crust that keeps toppings from sliding off and makes the whole thing look intentional.
  • Add the honey after baking, not before, or it burns and turns bitter instead of sweet and glossy.
03 -
  • Use a really good quality truffle oil, the cheap stuff tastes artificial and ruins the whole vibe.
  • Let the pastry cool for just a minute before slicing so the cheese sets slightly and doesnt slide everywhere.
  • If your figs are underripe, roast them with a drizzle of honey first to bring out their sweetness.
