Pre-heat the oven to 190C. Melt the honey in a small pot on small/medium heat, the fill up with the port wine. Reduce the port wine on high heat to about 1/5 then take of the stove and let it cool down. With the cutter, cut out 4 circles and put them on baking paper on a baking tray. Mix the egg yolk and the cream and reap the 4 pastry circles with it. Now place the thin fig slices on each of the 4 pastry circles like roof tiles. Leave a small border of about 0.5cm on the pastry circles. No greatly brush the figs with the honey/port wine reduction on all 4 of the pastry circles. Finito! Now put it for about 15min in the oven. After 15min place one of the each small goat cheeses on the 4 pastry circle, and continue to bake for about 5min until the cheese slowly starts to melt.
Place each of the 4 tarts on a plate, again brush it generously with the honey/port wine reduction and decorate with a lavender branch. Bon appétit!
Wine recommendation: Some nice, fruity red wine, i.e. a nice Primitivo.
