Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 2 flatbread crusts (use this easy recipe or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Toppings
- 4–6 tablespoons apricot jam
- Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
- 8 oz. plain goat cheese
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 4–6 tablespoons honey
- A small handful fresh mint leaves, julienne cut
- Kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare flatbread crusts: Make a quick 5-minute flatbread dough and par-bake it according to the recipe’s directions, or alternatively use two store-bought flatbread crusts as a shortcut.
- Preheat oven: Heat your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure a hot environment for baking and broiling the flatbreads evenly and quickly.
- Brush and spread: Lightly brush both flatbread crusts with olive oil to create a crisp texture. Then evenly spread the apricot jam and sprinkle the lemon zest across each flatbread for a balanced sweet and citrusy flavor base.
- Add goat cheese: Divide the 8 ounces of plain goat cheese evenly between the two flatbread crusts, spreading it gently to cover the surface.
- Top with blueberries: Distribute the fresh blueberries evenly on top of the goat cheese for bursts of fruity freshness in every bite.
- Bake the flatbreads: Place the flatbreads in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the crust start turning golden brown and crispy.
- Broil for finishing touch: Switch to broil for 1-2 minutes to add a slight caramelization and deepen the colors on top, being careful not to burn.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from oven and drizzle the honey evenly over the hot flatbreads. Sprinkle the julienned mint leaves and a pinch of kosher salt on top. Slice into portions and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Store-bought flatbread crusts can be used to save time without compromising taste.
- You can adjust the amount of honey and apricot jam depending on your sweetness preference.
- Fresh mint adds a refreshing herbal note but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Make sure to watch the flatbreads carefully when broiling to avoid burning.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
