- Step 5: Pour almond filling into prepared tart shell and smooth the top.
- Step 6: Arrange 10 halved fresh figs cut side up evenly over the almond filling.
- Step 7: Drizzle 3 tbsp honey over the figs and filling.
- Step 8: Bake tart for 40-45 minutes until the almond filling is set and golden around edges.
