Print Recipe

A simple, elegant flatbread combining fresh figs, prosciutto, and cheeses with a honey balsamic drizzle, perfect for entertaining or a light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought flatbread crust (8–10 inches, about 7 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4–5 fresh figs, sliced thin (or dried figs soaked in warm water)
  • 4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh arugula
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Optional garnishes: chopped fresh thyme or basil, cracked sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats up (about 30 minutes).
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and balsamic vinegar. Stir gently until warmed and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, add black pepper, and set aside to cool.
  3. Brush the flatbread crust lightly with olive oil on both sides using a pastry brush.
  4. Arrange toppings: evenly distribute fresh mozzarella over the crust, place thinly sliced figs in a single layer, scatter crumbled goat cheese if using, and drape prosciutto slices strategically.
  5. Bake the flatbread on the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet for 10-12 minutes until crust is crisp and golden, cheese melted, and prosciutto warmed but not dried.
  6. Remove flatbread from oven and immediately scatter fresh arugula over the top.
  7. Drizzle the honey balsamic glaze generously over everything.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh thyme or basil and a sprinkle of cracked sea salt if desired.
  9. Slice into 6-8 pieces and serve warm.

Notes

Use ripe but firm figs to avoid soggy crust. Brush olive oil on both sides of crust for crispness. Preheat baking surface for best results. Warm honey balsamic gently without boiling. Pat figs dry if very juicy. Assemble ahead but bake just before serving to keep crust crisp.
