A simple yet gourmet flatbread combining sweet fresh figs, salty prosciutto, and creamy gorgonzola, perfect for quick snacks or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large store-bought or homemade flatbread (about 1012 inches), such as naan or pita-style
  • 68 ripe fresh figs, sliced thin
  • 46 thin slices prosciutto, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 34 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling after baking)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat for about 15 minutes.
  2. Lightly brush the top of the flatbread with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over it.
  3. Slice 6-8 fresh figs thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) and lay the slices evenly across the flatbread, overlapping slightly but not overcrowding.
  4. Tear 4-6 slices of prosciutto into small pieces and scatter them over the figs.
  5. Crumble 3-4 ounces of gorgonzola cheese over the entire flatbread.
  6. Scatter 1 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh rosemary or thyme on top (optional).
  7. Transfer the flatbread onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and crisp, cheese is slightly melted, and figs look caramelized.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the top while still warm (optional).
  9. Cut into wedges, garnish with extra cracked black pepper if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet for a crisp crust. Thinly slice figs evenly to avoid mushiness. Drizzle honey after baking for a subtle sweetness. To keep crust crispy, avoid overloading toppings. Let flatbread rest 2-3 minutes after baking before slicing. For gluten-free, use cauliflower crust or gluten-free flatbread. Cheese can be swapped with goat cheese or ricotta for milder flavor. Prosciutto can be replaced with serrano ham or smoked turkey. Fresh herbs can be substituted with basil or oregano.
