Print Recipe

A quick and easy flatbread combining the sweetness of fresh figs, saltiness of prosciutto, peppery arugula, and a drizzle of honey for a fresh, satisfying snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) flatbread dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 6–8 ripe fresh figs, sliced thin
  • 4 ounces (115g) prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups loosely packed arugula, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 ounces (115g) goat cheese or ricotta (optional)
  • Fresh black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Roll out the flatbread dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough 12×8 inch (30×20 cm) rectangle or circle about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
  3. Brush the surface of the dough lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush.
  4. Carefully transfer the dough onto the hot baking surface and par-bake for 6-8 minutes until it starts to firm up but does not brown completely.
  5. While the crust par-bakes, slice fresh figs thinly and prepare prosciutto slices. If using cheese, have it ready in small dollops.
  6. Remove the crust from the oven and evenly arrange fig slices over it. Lay or tear prosciutto slices on top, then dot with goat cheese or ricotta if using.
  7. Return the flatbread to the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is slightly melted.
  8. Once out of the oven, scatter fresh arugula over the warm flatbread.
  9. Drizzle honey generously over the flatbread and finish with a few grinds of fresh black pepper.
  10. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Preheat the baking surface well for a crispy crust. Thinly slice figs for even cooking. Avoid overloading toppings to prevent soggy dough. Warm honey slightly if too thick for easier drizzling. For gluten-free, use almond or chickpea flour flatbread. Prosciutto can be added fresh after baking for a silkier texture.
