A quick and easy savory flatbread combining the sweet burst of figs, salty prosciutto, and creamy gorgonzola on a crispy crust, perfect for casual dinners or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought flatbread or homemade pizza dough (about 12 inches diameter)
  • 6 medium fresh figs, sliced thinly (or dried figs soaked in warm water for 10 minutes)
  • 46 slices thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)
  • A handful of arugula or baby greens (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat for about 30 minutes before baking.
  2. If using pizza dough, roll it out on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter for a thin crust. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Brush lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Crumble the gorgonzola evenly over the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Arrange the thin fig slices evenly atop the cheese without overcrowding.
  5. Sprinkle the chopped rosemary and freshly cracked black pepper over the flatbread.
  6. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and immediately layer the prosciutto slices over the hot flatbread.
  8. Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey and the remaining olive oil over the top.
  9. Garnish with a handful of fresh arugula or baby greens.
  10. Slice with a pizza cutter or sharp knife and serve warm.

Notes

Add prosciutto after baking to keep it tender and silky. Use fresh figs when possible for best flavor. Avoid overloading toppings to prevent soggy crust. Let cheese and prosciutto come to room temperature before assembling. Reheat leftovers in oven at 375ยฐF for 8-10 minutes to maintain crispness. Honey drizzle enhances sweet-savory balance.
