A quick and easy flatbread combining the sweet and savory flavors of fresh figs, salty prosciutto, creamy gorgonzola, and honey on a crisp flatbread crust. Perfect for entertaining or a fuss-free gourmet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought flatbread or naan (810 inches)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 oz (85g) gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • Optional: 2 oz (60g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 68 fresh figs, thinly sliced (or dried figs as substitute)
  • 4 oz (115g) thinly sliced prosciutto
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it on the middle rack to heat.
  2. Lay the flatbread on a parchment-lined baking sheet or clean surface. Brush lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Sprinkle crumbled gorgonzola evenly over the flatbread. Add shredded mozzarella if using.
  4. Arrange thinly sliced figs on top of the cheese in a single layer.
  5. Bake on the pizza stone or baking sheet for 10-12 minutes until cheese bubbles and edges turn golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and immediately layer thin prosciutto slices on top to warm with residual heat.
  7. Drizzle 2 tablespoons honey over the flatbread.
  8. Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme if desired, then slice into 6-8 pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Add prosciutto after baking to keep texture tender. Use high-quality honey for best flavor. Watch baking time closely to avoid burnt edges. For gluten-free, use almond or chickpea flour flatbread. For dairy-free, substitute gorgonzola with vegan blue cheese or cashew-based cheese. Optional garnishes include fresh rosemary or thyme. If figs are underripe, toss in lemon juice and sugar before slicing.
