Print Recipe

A quick and easy flatbread topped with sweet figs, salty prosciutto, tangy goat cheese, and a homemade balsamic drizzle. Perfect for entertaining or a weeknight meal that feels indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large pre-made flatbread or naan (about 10–12 inches)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 6–8 fresh figs, stemmed and quartered
  • 4–5 slices prosciutto, torn into pieces
  • Fresh arugula for topping (optional)
  • Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
  • Flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup good-quality balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
  2. Make the balsamic drizzle: Pour 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon honey into a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low. Let it bubble for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Place the flatbread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally brush the outer rim with olive oil for extra crispiness.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the flatbread, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Dot with crumbled goat cheese.
  5. Arrange quartered figs evenly over the cheese, pressing them down gently.
  6. Tear prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the flatbread, avoiding overlapping.
  7. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Drizzle balsamic reduction over the top. Add fresh arugula and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
  9. Slice into 6-8 pieces using a sharp pizza cutter or knife. Serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t overload the flatbread with toppings to prevent sogginess. Toast the flatbread first for extra crispiness. Use room-temperature cheese for even melting. Watch the balsamic reduction closely to avoid burning. Serve immediately for best texture.
