Method

Grind almonds in a food processor with 1/4 cup of the flour until ground to a coarse powder.

Add remaining flour and process until well blended.

Distribute butter over nut-flour mixture and pulse until blended.

While pulsing, add honey and process until clumps of dough begin to form, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Press dough into the bottom of a buttered 8- or 9-inch tart pan, building it evenly up the sides.

Freeze 15 minutes until firm.

Bake crust until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and spread a thin layer of fig spread over bottom of the crust and evenly distribute crumbled goat cheese on top.

Return to the oven and bake until crust is golden brown and goat cheese is softened, 8 to 10 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly.

Toss arugula with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Season with salt and pepper.

Top tart with arugula and serve.
