The theme for this month’s Creative Cooking Crew’s challenge was, “You’re invited to a Thanksgiving dinner party — bring an appetizer”. So, I decided to bring an Arugula, Fig and Prosciutto Tart.
This is such a beautiful tart and the combination of flavors and textures are absolutely amazing! Fresh sweet figs, salty prosciutto, creamy cheese, and lemony spicy arugula. This tart is very easy to make, especially if you decide to use store-bought puff pastry , and there’s only fifteen minutes of total cook time.
This Arugula, Fig and Prosciutto Tart would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving table. For more Thanksgiving appetizer ideas visit Foodalogue on 11/21 to see the rest of the Creative Cooking Crew’s recipes.
Buen provecho!

Don’t recognise “arugula” what is it? Ripe figs wouldn’t get that far in this house- they’re eaten as soon as they appear.
Erica Dinho says
Arugula is Rúcula in Spanish.

I made a tart too! This looks so fresh and vibrant! Prosciutto, arugula and figs are so tasty together. What a great combo 🙂
Bob says
It sure looks great, but isn’t the prosciutto just tossed on the top uncooked instead of baked on the crust per the directions in the recipe?
Erica Dinho says
Thanks,Bob!It was a writing mistake.. I fixed the recipe directions.
Adriana says
Hola Erica, ni idea que son ‘figs’? Vivo en NE, son fáciles de conseguir? Y si no con que se pudieran reemplazar? Igual la receta suena deli! Gracias!
Erica Dinho says
Figs son brevas, pero puedes usar peras.
Laurie says
This is easy to make and the flavors sound fabulous! I purchased the list of ingredients, but am left puzzled over when to incorporate the basalmic and what to do with the other half of the manchengo cheese…..?
