Print Recipe

A quick and elegant flatbread combining the sweet juiciness of fresh figs with salty prosciutto, creamy gorgonzola, and peppery arugula for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought flatbread or naan (about 8–10 inches)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
  • 3–4 fresh figs, sliced thin
  • 4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 3 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup fresh arugula (washed and dried)
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze or aged balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it on the middle rack to heat for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Place the flatbread on a baking sheet or pizza peel. Brush the top lightly with olive oil.
  3. Evenly distribute the sliced figs across the flatbread without overlapping too much. Sprinkle the crumbled gorgonzola over the figs.
  4. Bake the flatbread on the preheated stone or baking sheet for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and cheese is bubbling. Watch closely around 8 minutes to avoid burning.
  5. Remove from oven and quickly arrange prosciutto slices on top to warm gently with residual heat.
  6. Scatter fresh arugula over the flatbread. Optionally toss arugula with a drizzle of olive oil and pinch of salt before adding.
  7. Drizzle balsamic glaze over everything and finish with freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  8. Slice into 6-8 pieces depending on flatbread size and serve immediately.

Notes

Preheat the oven and pizza stone for a crisp crust. Use room temperature gorgonzola for better melting. Avoid overloading toppings to prevent sogginess. Fresh figs are preferred; rehydrate dried figs if used. Optionally sauté figs with butter and brown sugar if not ripe enough. Flipping flatbread halfway through baking can increase crispiness.
