Roasted Fig Flatbread (Fig Balsamic & Tuscan Herb Olive Oil)

/

Fig with figs, what could be better than that? Well, fig with figs and cheese of course.
This sweet and tangy flatbread is great as an appetizer or makes a meal along side a bowl of soup.

Roasted Fig Flatbread

Our base was a par-baked flatbread from our local baker. You can choose your base from a variety of options such as:

  • an english muffin

  • pizza dough

  • puff pastry

  • or even artisan sourdough bread.

Spread your base liberally with Tuscan herb olive oil. This ensures the rich herby flavors of Italy are included as a background in each bite.

Sprinkle with a layer shredded mozzarella cheese.

Add a layer sliced fresh spinach and then top with ripe figs.

Bake in a 400 degree oven about 10 minutes, until edges of the base are crispening up, cheese is melted and fig is looking gooey and roasted.

Remove from oven and add crumbled blue cheese, then return to oven for 3-4 minutes to melt the blue cheese.

Top with drizzles of fig balsamic vinegar and eat.

Note: If you do not have Tuscan herb olive oil, this recipe is still delicious with a fresh high quality EVOO.

Heaven!
