Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (or 200°C).
Set your puff pastry out to thaw for 25 to 30 minutes. Then on a lightly floured surface roll the puff pastry out to 14 inches long by 12 inches wide and 1/4-inch thick – or there about.
Transfer the rolled out dough to a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet. Fold the edges to create a dam. Then brush the edge with olive oil.
Arrange the figs, cut-side facing up on the dough and sprinkle with kosher salt. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese and roughly 2 tablespoons rosemary that has been stripped from the stem.
Bake on the middle rack of your preheated oven until crispy – about 18 minutes. OR until golden brown. Once baked, let cool 10 minutes before drizzling with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with coarse flaky salt (like Maldon) and freshly ground black pepper.
Extra fresh rosemary leaves can be added if desired.
Slice into 9 pieces and serve.
