This simple plum tart can be either sweet or savoury. Take your pick.

Sweet or savoury? This simple-to-construct tart nails both. Though the plums are particularly delightful in summer, you could also swap them for seasonal fare later in the year. Try figs in autumn, then in winter try pears. The final drizzle of honey is a must, complementing the goat’s cheese and thyme.

4 plum, stones removed

7 sheets filo pastry
