Print Recipe

A quick and easy flatbread featuring creamy ricotta, tender fresh figs, crispy prosciutto, and a honey drizzle for a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought flatbread or naan (8–10 inches in diameter)
  • ½ cup (120g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 4–5 medium fresh figs, thinly sliced
  • 3–4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 1–2 tablespoons mild runny honey (wildflower or clover)
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary leaves (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat for about 30 minutes.
  2. Lightly brush both sides of the flatbread with extra virgin olive oil. Place on a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
  3. Bake flatbread for 5-7 minutes until it starts to firm up but is not browned.
  4. Remove flatbread from oven and spread an even layer of ricotta cheese over the warm flatbread.
  5. Arrange sliced fresh figs evenly over the ricotta. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
  6. Tear or fold prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and scatter on top of the figs.
  7. Return flatbread to oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until edges are golden and prosciutto crisps slightly.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle honey over the entire flatbread. Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary leaves if using.
  9. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

Use room temperature ricotta for easier spreading. Thinly slice figs to avoid soggy flatbread. Brush olive oil on flatbread before baking to keep it crispy. Bake in two stages to prevent sogginess and ensure prosciutto crisps nicely. Drizzle honey immediately after baking while flatbread is hot. Watch prosciutto closely to avoid burning. Preheat baking sheet if no pizza stone is available for extra crispiness.
