Tart:

Preheat oven to 400° F / 205° C. Line a half-sheet rimmed baking tray with parchment.

Unroll puff pastry on a silicone baking mat.

Cut a circle, approximately 10 inches in diameter. (I like to trace around a dinner plate.) If desired, save the scraps to make puff pastry twists.

With a rubber spatula or small stepped palette knife, spread the fig jam evenly over the surface of the pastry, allowing a 1-inch border around all edges.
