Print Recipe

A quick and easy appetizer combining sweet figs, salty prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and tangy balsamic glaze on a crispy flatbread base. Perfect for impressing guests or a late-night snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought flatbread or naan (8–10 inches)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for brushing)
  • 6 fresh ripe figs, sliced thinly (or dried figs rehydrated in warm water)
  • 4 ounces prosciutto, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn or sliced (can substitute burrata or goat cheese)
  • Handful fresh arugula
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
  • Optional: drizzle of honey for extra sweetness

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and place pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat for about 15 minutes.
  2. Lightly brush both sides of the flatbread with olive oil.
  3. Tear fresh mozzarella into small pieces and scatter evenly over the flatbread, leaving a small border around edges.
  4. Layer thinly sliced figs over the cheese, then sprinkle torn prosciutto pieces on top without overcrowding.
  5. Carefully transfer flatbread onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden and crisp.
  6. Remove from oven and drizzle balsamic glaze generously over the top.
  7. Toss arugula with a tiny splash of olive oil if desired, then pile on top of flatbread.
  8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Slice flatbread into 6 wedges and serve immediately. Optionally, add a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.

Notes

Preheat the pizza stone or baking sheet to ensure a crispy crust. Pat mozzarella dry if too moist to avoid soggy crust. Add balsamic glaze after baking to preserve its texture and flavor. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice cleanly. Leftovers can be reheated in a 375°F oven for 8 minutes; avoid microwaving to keep crust crisp.
