A quick and easy flatbread topped with honey roasted figs, creamy goat cheese, and fresh arugula, perfect for a sweet-savory snack or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought flatbread or naan (810 inches)
  • 68 fresh figs, quartered (or ½ cup fig preserves)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, soft and creamy, room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh arugula, washed and dried
  • Optional: toasted walnuts or pine nuts
  • Optional: fresh cracked black pepper
  • Optional: drizzle of balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
  2. If using fresh figs, wash and quarter them. Toss figs with honey, olive oil, and sea salt in a mixing bowl. If using preserves, stir in honey and oil to loosen.
  3. Spread coated figs on a parchment-lined baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Roast for 10-12 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  4. Spread goat cheese evenly over the flatbread. Microwave goat cheese 10-15 seconds if too firm.
  5. Remove hot pizza stone or baking sheet from oven. Place flatbread on it and bake for 8-10 minutes until crust is crisp and goat cheese slightly melted.
  6. Top flatbread with roasted figs evenly.
  7. Scatter fresh arugula and optional toasted nuts on top. Finish with balsamic glaze and cracked black pepper if desired.
  8. Slice into 6 pieces and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Do not overcrowd figs on flatbread to maintain balance of flavors. Watch figs carefully while roasting to avoid burning. Add arugula after baking to keep it fresh and crisp. Preheat pizza stone well for crispy crust. For dairy-free option, substitute goat cheese with vegan cheese and use dairy-free flatbread.
