Print Recipe

A quick and easy flatbread combining sweet fig preserves, crispy prosciutto, creamy goat cheese, and fresh peppery arugula for a sophisticated and delicious snack or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large store-bought flatbread (10–12 inches) or homemade flatbread dough
  • 3 tablespoons fig preserves or fig jam
  • 4–5 thin slices prosciutto, roughly chopped
  • 4 ounces goat cheese or ricotta, softened
  • 2 cups fresh arugula leaves, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds or walnuts, toasted (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place your pizza stone or baking sheet inside to warm up.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the prosciutto slices and cook for 2–3 minutes until they start to crisp but aren’t brittle. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  3. Place the flatbread on a clean surface. Evenly spread the fig preserves over the flatbread using a spatula, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Dollop goat cheese or ricotta across the flatbread in small spoonfuls.
  5. Carefully transfer the flatbread onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are golden and the cheese is slightly melted.
  6. While the flatbread bakes, toss the arugula in a bowl with fresh lemon juice, the remaining olive oil, and a pinch of cracked black pepper.
  7. Remove the flatbread from the oven. Scatter the crispy prosciutto over the top, followed by the dressed arugula. Optionally, sprinkle toasted nuts for extra crunch.
  8. Slice into wedges and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Crisp the prosciutto separately to keep it crunchy. Warm the baking surface before baking for a crispier crust. Avoid overloading with cheese or preserves to prevent sogginess. Toss arugula just before serving to keep it fresh and bright. Reheat leftovers in the oven to maintain crispness.
