Ingredients

  • 2 store-bought flatbreads or naan
  • 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for sautéing
  • 6 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 6 to 8 fresh figs, sliced into rounds or quarters
  • ½ cup fresh arugula
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place flatbreads on the baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Bake for 6–7 minutes until slightly crisped. Remove and let cool slightly.

  4. Distribute sautéed shallots over the baked flatbreads.
  5. Top with crumbled goat cheese and sliced figs.

  8. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  9. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Swap goat cheese with brie or blue cheese for a different flavor.
  • Add caramelized onions or toasted walnuts for extra richness and crunch.
  • Use dried figs (soaked) or fig jam if fresh figs aren’t available.
  • Drizzle honey instead of balsamic for a sweeter finish.
  • Try apples, pears, or toasted almonds for additional texture.
