Print Recipe

A quick and elegant flatbread combining sweet figs, tangy Gorgonzola, savory prosciutto, and peppery arugula, perfect for snacks or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought flatbread or naan (8–10 inches)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
  • 4–5 fresh figs, sliced thinly (or dried figs soaked in warm water for 10 minutes)
  • 3 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 1 cup fresh arugula, rinsed and dried
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or reduction (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it on the middle rack to heat for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Place the flatbread on a baking sheet or pizza peel. Brush lightly with olive oil, covering edges, and sprinkle chopped rosemary evenly.
  3. Crumble Gorgonzola cheese evenly over the flatbread in a thin layer.
  4. Arrange sliced figs over the cheese, ensuring slices are thin and hold their shape. If using dried figs, pat dry after soaking.
  5. Bake the flatbread for 8-12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden and crisp. Rotate baking sheet halfway if used.
  6. Remove from oven and layer prosciutto slices over the hot flatbread to soften slightly.
  7. Scatter fresh arugula on top and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Slice into wedges and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use fresh figs for best flavor; soak and dry dried figs if substituting. Brush olive oil carefully to keep crust crisp. Add arugula and prosciutto after baking to avoid wilting and greasiness. For a crispier bottom, broil 1-2 minutes watching closely. Variations include vegetarian (skip prosciutto, add nuts and honey), gluten-free flatbread or cauliflower crust, and seasonal fruit swaps.
