Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 flatbread
- 4 ounces goat cheese (chevre)
- 4 ounces prosciutto, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh figs, sliced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- Fresh arugula for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to ensure a crispy flatbread base.
- Remove the flatbread from packaging and place it on a clean baking sheet or pizza stone. Allow it to come to room temperature for even cooking.
- Crumble the goat cheese (chevre) into small, even pieces. This will help distribute the cheese evenly across the flatbread.
- Gently spread the crumbled goat cheese over the surface of the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully arrange the sliced fresh figs across the cheese-covered flatbread, ensuring even distribution.
- Delicately layer the thinly sliced prosciutto over the figs, allowing some of the figs and cheese to remain visible.
- Place the prepared flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
- Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze in a decorative pattern across the surface of the flatbread.
- Garnish with fresh arugula leaves, which will add a peppery freshness to the rich flavors.
- Slice the flatbread into 4 equal portions and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Tips
- Preheat for Perfection: Always preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) to ensure your flatbread gets that golden, crispy texture. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats up for an extra crunch!
- Room Temperature Matters: Allow your flatbread to come to room temperature before baking. This helps it cook evenly and achieve that delightful crispiness.
- Cheese Distribution: When crumbling the goat cheese, aim for small, even pieces. This will help it melt uniformly and blend beautifully with the other flavors.
- Layer with Love: Be generous but strategic when layering your figs and prosciutto. Let some of the figs peek through for a stunning presentation and a burst of flavor in every bite.
- Timing is Key: Keep an eye on your flatbread while it bakes. Ovens can vary, so check for that perfect golden brown color and bubbly cheese at around 10 minutes.
- Let it Rest: After baking, let your flatbread rest for a few minutes. This allows the cheese to set slightly, making it easier to slice and serve.
- Garnish for Freshness: Don’t skip the fresh arugula! Its peppery flavor adds a refreshing contrast to the richness of the cheese and prosciutto, enhancing the overall taste.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve your flatbread warm and crisp. It’s perfect as an appetizer or a light meal that’s sure to impress!
