I love this salty cake of figs with cheese and caramelized onions. Figs are one of my favorite fruits and now that the season begins I love to use them.

The French certainly know how to prepare savoury tarts and I always I fall exhausted at his feet.

They are cakes that blend many flavors and I have special predilection for which mixed salty with sweet, like the Salt cake of figs with cheese and caramelized onions of today, in which we have the creaminess of the cheese together with the sweet figs.

Caramelized Onion does not sugar, and is something that many mistakenly believe. We can do it with sugar, but in general, called to caramelize to leave little by little brown in their own vegetables or fruit sugar.

And that's what we do in this recipe. We left Browning the onions slowly, giving your time, but without adding more sugar.

This cake takes camembert cheese that has always been one of my favorites. I love the classic combination of creamy, spicy cheese blended with sweet and fruity fig.

But I also love the addition of caramelized onions and a few walnuts for a bit of crunchy texture
