- Preheat the oven to gas mark 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Melt the butter and caster sugar in a 20cm (8in) ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat, then add the vanilla pod and seeds. Swirl around until it turns a golden caramel then remove the empty vanilla pod.
- Halve the figs and place cut side down in the pan so they cover the base snugly. Leave to cool for 2 mins.
- Unroll the puff pastry and cut out a circle 2cm (1in) wider than the pan. Put over the figs, pressing down the sides to ensure the pastry meets the edge. Prick with a fork, brush with the beatenegg, then bake for 20-25 mins.
- Cool for 5-10 mins in the pan, then carefully run a sharp knife between the pastry and the edge, place a serving plate over the top and invert the pan. Scatter with the hazelnuts to serve.
