Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 medium fresh figs, washed and sliced
  • 4–6 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 1 large flatbread base (about 12-inch diameter), store-bought or homemade
  • 4 oz (115 g) goat cheese, softened
  • 4 oz (115 g) fresh mozzarella, torn into small pieces
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or thyme as substitute)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
  2. Make the balsamic glaze: In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened (about 10-12 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  3. Place the flatbread on a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil, covering edges.
  4. Dollop goat cheese evenly across the flatbread, then scatter torn mozzarella pieces on top.
  5. Sprinkle chopped rosemary (or thyme) evenly over the cheese layer.
  6. Bake the flatbread for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown.
  7. Remove flatbread from oven and immediately arrange sliced figs evenly on top.
  8. Tear prosciutto slices and scatter over the figs.
  9. Optionally drizzle honey over figs and prosciutto.
  10. Drizzle cooled balsamic glaze generously over the flatbread before serving.
  11. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

Preheat oven and baking surface for a crispy crust. Thinly slice figs (~1/4 inch) to avoid soggy flatbread. Add prosciutto after baking to keep texture delicate. Balsamic glaze should coat the back of a spoon but not be syrupy. Store leftovers wrapped in fridge up to 2 days; reheat in oven or skillet, avoid microwave.
