A quick and easy grilled flatbread pizza featuring salty prosciutto, peppery arugula, sweet figs, and creamy goat cheese, perfect for summer gatherings or casual dinners.

Ingredients

  • Pre-made flatbread or naan
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing and drizzling
  • Thinly sliced prosciutto
  • Fresh arugula
  • Fresh figs (or dried figs soaked in warm water)
  • Goat cheese or ricotta
  • Honey, for drizzling
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C), for approximately 10 minutes.
  2. Brush both sides of each flatbread lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and aid browning.
  3. Place flatbreads directly on the grill grates and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the bread is crisp and slightly charred. Press down gently with tongs if the bread bubbles up.
  4. Remove grilled flatbread to a clean surface and spread a thin layer of goat cheese or ricotta evenly over the top while still warm.
  5. Tear prosciutto into bite-sized strips and arrange over the cheese. Slice fresh figs thinly and place atop the prosciutto.
  6. Toss arugula lightly with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then scatter generously over the pizza.
  7. Drizzle honey over everything and finish with freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Slice into wedges and serve immediately while warm and crisp.

Notes

Use a light brush of olive oil to avoid flare-ups and soggy bread. Grill flatbread first, then add toppings to keep figs from becoming mushy and prosciutto from drying out. Keep finished flatbreads warm in a 200°F oven wrapped loosely in foil if making multiple. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flatbread or naan. For vegan, substitute cheese with dairy-free alternatives and omit prosciutto.
