This galette-pizza strikes a graceful balance of sweetness and creaminess: ripe figs, soft Brie, crunchy walnuts and fragrant honey over a golden crust. It comes together quickly, looks beautifully polished and works just as well for an everyday bite as it does for an elegant table spread.
Ingredients
- Puff pastry or pizza dough — 1 round sheet
- Fresh figs — 5–7, cut into wedges
- Brie or Camembert — 5.3–7 oz (150–200 g), cut into pieces
- Fresh or dried rosemary — to taste
- Egg — 1, beaten, for brushing the crust
- Walnuts — 1 handful, chopped
- Honey — 2–3 tbsp, for serving
Step-by-Step Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Place the round sheet of dough on the baking sheet and lightly prick the surface with a fork, leaving a 1–1 1/4 inch border around the edge.
- Arrange the cheese pieces and fig wedges evenly over the inner circle, alternating them slightly.
- Scatter the rosemary over the filling.
- Fold the exposed edges of the dough inward to form a rustic border. Brush the crust with the beaten egg for a deep golden finish.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted.
- Remove from the oven, scatter with chopped walnuts and drizzle with honey. Let stand for 5 minutes and serve warm.

Tips and Variations
- You can swap the cheese for goat cheese, Camembert or a mild blue cheese for a more pronounced edge.
- Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet to bring out a deeper aroma.
- No rosemary? Use thyme — it pairs beautifully with figs and Brie.
- Instead of honey, try maple syrup or balsamic glaze.
- If you use yeasted pizza dough, pre-bake the base for 5 minutes, then add the filling and finish baking.
- A few slices of prosciutto or a handful of arugula make a lovely finish after baking.
FAQ
Can I use frozen figs?
Yes, but let the wedges thaw completely and pat them dry with paper towels to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
What can I use instead of egg for brushing the crust?
Brush the edges with milk, or a mixture of milk and cream — the crust will still bake up beautifully golden.
Can Camembert be used instead of Brie?
Yes, Camembert is a perfect substitute: it has a similar texture and a soft, creamy flavor.
