Caramelized Onion, Fig, and Blue Cheese Flatbread Recipe – Easy & Delicious

Description

Hello food enthusiasts! Today, we’re diving into the world of gourmet flatbreads with a recipe that will elevate your next gathering: the Caramelized Onion, Fig, and Blue Cheese Flatbread. Whether you’re looking for a unique appetizer or a satisfying main course, this easy-to-make flatbread has a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors that will have everyone coming back for seconds.

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 medium onion (thinly sliced and caramelized)
  • 1 pre-baked thin pizza crust or flatbread (9-inch, such as Stonefire)
  • ¼ cup fig preserves
  • ½–¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2–3 ounces crumbled blue cheese

Optional substitutions:

  • Gluten-free crust: Use your favorite gluten-free flatbread.
  • Dairy-free cheese: Substitute mozzarella and blue cheese with vegan cheese options for a dairy-free version.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve a crispy crust while ensuring the cheeses melt perfectly.

Step 2: Prepare the Base

Spread ¼ cup of fig preserves evenly across your pre-baked flatbread. The fig preserves add a sweet contrast to the savory ingredients.

Step 3: Add the Cheese

Sprinkle ½ to ¾ cup shredded mozzarella on top of the fig layer, followed by your caramelized onions. Finally, add blue cheese crumbles, but reserve some for topping after baking to maximize the flavor contrast.

Step 4: Bake

Place the flatbread in the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges of the flatbread turn golden brown.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

After baking, remove the flatbread from the oven and sprinkle the remaining blue cheese crumbles on top for that final burst of tanginess. Slice into pieces and serve!

Equipment

Notes

  • Caramelize the onions slowly: Cook the onions over low heat for about 25-30 minutes to achieve that perfect, sweet caramelization.
  • Try fresh figs: If they’re in season, fresh figs sliced thinly can be used in place of fig preserves for a fresher, fruitier taste.
  • Balance the cheese: If you’re not a fan of strong blue cheese, you can mix it with goat cheese to mellow out the flavors.
