A quick and easy flatbread combining salty prosciutto, sweet figs, creamy Gorgonzola, and tangy balsamic glaze for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought flatbread (about 1012 inches) or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 68 ripe fresh figs, sliced (or dried figs softened)
  • 45 thin slices prosciutto, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 34 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • A handful fresh arugula
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Honey (optional, for drizzling)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat for 15 minutes.
  2. Lightly brush the flatbread with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Arrange the sliced figs evenly across the flatbread.
  4. Crumble 3-4 ounces of Gorgonzola cheese over the figs, distributing evenly.
  5. Transfer the flatbread to the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden and cheese is bubbling.
  6. Remove from oven and scatter torn prosciutto pieces on top.
  7. Toss fresh arugula with a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper, then pile on the flatbread.
  8. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze over the flatbread; add a light drizzle of honey if desired.
  9. Cut into wedges and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Use ripe but firm figs to avoid sogginess. Add prosciutto after baking to keep it tender. Preheat baking surface for a crisp crust. Drizzle balsamic glaze last to keep it glossy. Reheat leftovers gently in skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
