Print Recipe

A quick and easy flatbread featuring honey roasted figs, creamy brie, and a tangy balsamic glaze, perfect for entertaining or a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large store-bought or homemade flatbread (about 10–12 inches diameter)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
  • 8 fresh ripe figs, halved (frozen thawed figs can be used)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably local wildflower honey)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 4 ounces (115 g) Brie cheese, rind removed and sliced thinly
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary leaves (optional garnish)
  • Cracked black pepper (optional garnish)
  • Toasted walnuts or pecans (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, gently toss the halved figs with honey, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Let sit for about 5 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar and brown sugar (if using). Stir frequently and simmer until reduced by half and syrupy, about 8–10 minutes. Avoid burning.
  4. Remove the heated pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven. Place the flatbread on it and brush lightly with olive oil.
  5. Evenly distribute the honey roasted figs over the flatbread, cut side up. Lay thin slices of brie cheese between the figs.
  6. Bake the flatbread for 12–15 minutes until the brie is melty and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and drizzle balsamic glaze over the top in a zigzag pattern. Add fresh thyme leaves, cracked black pepper, and toasted nuts if desired.
  8. Cut into slices and serve warm.

Notes

Keep an eye on figs while roasting to prevent burning; tent with foil if browning too fast. Removing brie rind helps cheese melt smoother but is optional. Preheat baking surface for a crisp crust. Use a spoon if you don’t have a pastry brush. For gluten-free, use almond flour flatbread. Vegan options include cashew cheese and maple syrup instead of honey.
