Description
A quick and elegant flatbread combining sweet fresh figs, salty prosciutto, and tangy gorgonzola cheese, ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 large or 2 small flatbreads (store-bought naan, pita, or pre-made pizza crust)
- 6–8 medium fresh figs, sliced
- 4 ounces (115g) prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces (115g) gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey (optional)
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup arugula (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and slice fresh figs into thin rounds. Chop rosemary finely and crumble gorgonzola if needed. Tear prosciutto into bite-sized pieces.
- Place flatbread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Mix olive oil with chopped rosemary and brush lightly over the flatbread.
- Arrange sliced figs evenly over the flatbread, leaving a small border. Scatter torn prosciutto on top, then sprinkle with crumbled gorgonzola.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and crispy and cheese is melted and bubbly. Check after 8 minutes to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and drizzle honey over the flatbread. Add freshly cracked black pepper. Scatter arugula on top if using.
- Cut into slices and serve immediately.
Notes
[‘Use fresh figs for best juiciness; soak dried figs in warm water for 10 minutes if using.’, ‘Avoid overloading flatbread to keep crust crispy.’, ‘Brush olive oil on both sides of flatbread for extra crispiness.’, ‘Use good-quality prosciutto for best flavor; bacon can be substituted if cooked crisp first.’, ‘Let flatbread cool for a minute before slicing to help cheese set.’, ‘Add toasted walnuts or pecans after baking for crunch.’, ‘Store leftovers wrapped tightly in fridge up to 2 days; reheat in skillet or oven to maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving.’, ‘Flatbread is not gluten-free unless using gluten-free flatbread.’, ‘For vegan version, substitute prosciutto and cheese with plant-based alternatives.’]
