Print Recipe

A quick and easy flatbread featuring sweet figs, salty prosciutto, creamy cheeses, and a tangy homemade balsamic glaze, perfect for a light meal or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought flatbread or pizza crust (about 10–12 inches)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for brushing)
  • 4–5 fresh figs, sliced thin (or dried figs rehydrated)
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn or sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta (optional)
  • Fresh arugula or baby spinach (a handful for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the balsamic glaze: Pour 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey into a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer, stirring occasionally until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
  3. Lightly brush both sides of the flatbread with olive oil and place on parchment paper.
  4. Arrange fresh mozzarella evenly on the flatbread. Dot with goat cheese if using. Layer thin slices of figs on top, then scatter torn prosciutto strips over the flatbread.
  5. Transfer the flatbread on parchment to the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese melts and crust is golden and crisp.
  6. Remove from oven. Scatter fresh arugula or baby spinach on top. Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over everything. Finish with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  7. Slice into 6-8 pieces and serve immediately.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free flatbread or cauliflower crust. Balsamic glaze can be made ahead and stored refrigerated for up to two weeks. Reheat leftovers in a skillet or under broiler to maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving to prevent soggy crust. Thinly slice figs uniformly to avoid uneven cooking. Do not overload toppings to keep crust crisp.
