Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Fill medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add beet noodles and boil 1 minute. Place beets in colander and run under cool water to remove excess color. Drain beets and blot well on paper towels.

  3. Brush pastry all over with melted fig spread. In top left corner, spread about ¼ cup goat cheese into a 3 x 5-inch rectangle. Arrange blueberries, in rows, over goat cheese.
  4. On remaining tart area, arrange beet noodles in 4 rows about 1-1/2 inches wide each, leaving about 1-inch between rows. Carefully place crumbled goat cheese between beet spiral rows.

  5. Bake tart 5 minutes or until goat cheese is softened and tart is warm. Do not over bake.
