A quick and easy flatbread recipe combining sweet figs, salty prosciutto, and creamy cheese on a crispy flatbread base, perfect for snacks or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 thin store-bought flatbread or naan (about 68 inches)
  • 68 ripe fresh figs, sliced thinly (or dried figs chopped into small pieces)
  • 68 thin slices prosciutto
  • 4 oz (115g) goat cheese or ricotta, softened
  • 12 tablespoons honey, for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing
  • A few sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary, finely chopped
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Brush both sides of the flatbread lightly with olive oil and place it on the baking sheet.
  3. Bake the flatbread for 5-7 minutes until golden and firm but not too crispy.
  4. While the flatbread toasts, soften the goat cheese or ricotta in a small bowl, optionally mixing in black pepper or herbs.
  5. Spread the cheese evenly over the warm flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  6. Arrange the sliced figs evenly on top of the cheese.
  7. Layer the prosciutto slices gently over the figs.
  8. Return the flatbread to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes until the prosciutto edges crisp and figs soften slightly.
  9. Remove from oven, sprinkle chopped fresh thyme or rosemary over the flatbread, and drizzle with honey and balsamic glaze if using.
  10. Slice with a sharp knife or pizza cutter and serve immediately.

Notes

Pre-toast the flatbread to avoid sogginess. Add honey after baking to prevent burning. Fresh herbs are best added after baking for bright flavor. Use thin slices of figs and prosciutto for even heating. For dairy-free, substitute goat cheese with plant-based spread or omit cheese.
