Print Recipe

A quick and easy flatbread featuring fresh figs, prosciutto, mozzarella, and a homemade balsamic glaze, perfect for entertaining or a sophisticated snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large store-bought flatbread or naan (about 10–12 inches diameter)
  • 6–8 ripe fresh figs, sliced
  • 4–6 thin slices of prosciutto
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup fresh arugula leaves (optional)
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the balsamic glaze: Pour ½ cup (120 ml) balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey into a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
  3. Place flatbread on a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Brush lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Scatter torn mozzarella evenly over the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Bake flatbread for 8-10 minutes until cheese melts and edges are golden and crispy.
  6. Remove flatbread from oven. Layer sliced figs evenly on top, followed by prosciutto slices.
  7. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves, salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the flatbread. Add arugula if using.
  8. Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over the flatbread. If glaze is too thick, warm gently to loosen.
  9. Slice into 6 pieces and serve immediately.

Notes

Make the balsamic glaze a day ahead and store in the fridge to save time. Let the flatbread rest a minute before slicing to prevent toppings from sliding. Use ripe figs for best flavor. Avoid overloading toppings to keep flatbread crisp. For dairy-free, omit mozzarella or use plant-based cheese. Gluten-free flatbread can be substituted.
