Print Recipe

A quick and easy gourmet flatbread combining creamy goat cheese, caramelized figs, salty prosciutto, and peppery arugula for a perfect snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought flatbread or naan (about 8–10 inches)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 ounces creamy goat cheese, softened
  • 6–8 fresh figs, sliced
  • 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 1 cup fresh arugula, loosely packed
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Sea salt flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place your pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat for about 15 minutes.
  2. Brush the flatbread lightly with olive oil mixed with garlic powder.
  3. In a small bowl, gently stir the goat cheese to make it spreadable. Microwave for 10 seconds or let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if needed.
  4. Spread the goat cheese evenly over the flatbread, leaving about ½ inch border around the edges.
  5. Place sliced figs evenly on top of the goat cheese.
  6. Transfer the flatbread onto the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and figs start to caramelize.
  7. Remove the flatbread from the oven and immediately layer on the thinly sliced prosciutto.
  8. Top with fresh arugula, allowing residual heat to gently wilt the greens.
  9. Drizzle honey over the top, crack fresh black pepper, and sprinkle sea salt flakes if desired.
  10. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Keep an eye on the figs while baking to avoid burning; tent with foil if edges brown too quickly. Use room temperature goat cheese for easier spreading. Add prosciutto and arugula after baking to keep them tender and fresh. For a dairy-free or vegetarian twist, substitute goat cheese with vegan cheese and prosciutto with smoked tempeh or mushrooms.
