Print Recipe

A delicious flatbread combining slow-cooked caramelized onions, sweet figs, and tangy goat cheese, perfect for easy entertaining and casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made flatbread crust (about 10–12 inches)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
  • 6–8 fresh figs, sliced (or ½ cup dried figs, chopped)
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Cracked black pepper
  • Optional: a handful of arugula for topping after baking

Instructions

  1. Heat the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat in a skillet. Add the thinly sliced onions, a pinch of salt, and stir to coat evenly. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle brown sugar (if using) over the onions and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes until onions are golden brown and fragrant. Add a splash of water if onions start to dry out.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  4. Place the flatbread on a baking sheet or pizza stone and brush lightly with olive oil.
  5. Spread the warm caramelized onions evenly over the flatbread.
  6. Arrange sliced figs on top, spacing them out evenly.
  7. Crumble goat cheese generously over the flatbread.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese melts and crust edges turn golden and crispy.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with honey and sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and cracked black pepper.
  10. Optionally, top with fresh arugula before serving.
  11. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

Let onions cool slightly before spreading to prevent sogginess. Avoid overloading the flatbread with toppings to keep crust crispy. Use a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet for best crust texture. Caramelize onions slowly over low heat for best flavor.
