Steps:
- Make crust
- Preheat oven to 325° F. and butter a 10-inch springform pan.
- In a bowl with a fork stir together crust ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Press mixture into bottom of pan and bake in middle of oven 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Make filling
- In a bowl with an electric mixer beat together filling ingredients and salt and pepper to taste until very smooth.
- Assemble torte
- Pour half of filling into crust. Drop dollops of pesto over filling and spread carefully to form an even topping. (Some filling may show through.) Top pesto layer with half of fig slices, overlapping them slightly, and pour remaining filling over figs, spreading evenly. Bake torte in middle of oven 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until top is golden brown and set. Cool torte in pan on a rack (filling will deflate slightly). Chill torte, covered loosely, at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
- In a small saucepan stir together preserves and vinegar and bring to a simmer. Remove pan from heat and cool mixture. Stir in salt to taste.
- Slice remaining pound figs into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Run a thin knife around edge of pan and remove side. Spread torte with preserves mixture, leaving a 1/4-inch border, and top decoratively with remaining fig slices. With 2 large metal spatulas transfer torte to a serving plate.
- Serve torte at room temperature to spread on toasts.

- Let butter, feta and cream cheese come to room temperature. Toast nuts in a skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until nuts are lightly toasted: remove from heat and set aside to cool. Note: I like to toast the nuts whole and chop them after to help prevent small pieces from burning.
- In the bowl of a food processor or mixer, thoroughly cream together butter, feta and cream cheese. Add garlic and basil and mix continue to mix until well incorporated.
- Chop the walnuts and pine nuts until desired consistency is reached. I like them finely chopped. Cover the bottom of a 6-inch spring form pan (or similar shaped 4-cup sized dish) with half of the nuts.
