Print Recipe

A quick and easy flatbread featuring a crispy base topped with fresh figs, prosciutto, Gorgonzola, fresh mozzarella, and drizzled with spicy-sweet hot honey for a sophisticated flavor balance.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made flatbread or naan (sturdy variety)
  • 6–8 ripe fresh figs, sliced
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 3 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • 4 ounces torn fresh mozzarella
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
  2. Lightly brush both sides of the flatbread with olive oil mixed with fresh thyme leaves. Transfer to baking sheet or heated pizza stone.
  3. Bake flatbread for about 5 minutes to warm and slightly crisp it.
  4. Slice fresh figs into quarters or sixths depending on size.
  5. Remove flatbread from oven. Evenly crumble Gorgonzola and scatter torn fresh mozzarella over the top.
  6. Arrange sliced figs evenly across the surface.
  7. Lay thin slices of prosciutto over everything, folding pieces gently for volume.
  8. Return flatbread to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles, edges turn golden, and figs soften but do not become mushy.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for a minute.
  10. Drizzle hot honey generously over the top, then season with fresh black pepper and a pinch of sea salt.
  11. Slice into pieces and serve warm.

Notes

Pre-baking the flatbread base prevents sogginess from the juicy figs. Use less Gorgonzola if you prefer milder flavor. Adjust hot honey amount to control spice level. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flatbread or cauliflower crust. Vegan adaptations include vegan cheese and agave nectar with chili flakes instead of honey.
