Fig, Balsamic, and Walnut Flatbreads
An elevated yet quick-to-make appetizer or light meal, with sweet, savory, creamy, and crisp elements all in one package. This makes a great starter for sharing with friends or adding to a holiday menu.
Ingredients
- 2 lavash or other flatbread crusts
- 1-2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup fig butter, jam, or preserves
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta
- pinch fine sea salt or kosher salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- balsamic glaze, fresh rosemary, and honey to finish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Set flatbreads on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Brush olive oil lightly along the outer rim of the flatbreads. Spread the fig butter or preserves in a thin layer across the top, then sprinkle evenly with the feta and top with a touch of salt.
- Transfer flatbreads to the oven and bake for 7-9 minutes, until the cheese is softened and the exposed edges are brown and crisp.
- Sprinkle the flatbreads with chopped walnuts and return to the oven for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to be sure the nuts do not burn.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze and honey, and sprinkle with fresh rosemary and more salt if desired.
- Slice into small squares or rectangles, serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes
- Yield: This recipe makes 2 flatbreads, but is super easy to scale up or down. I find each flatbread yields roughly 10 small bites if sliced as an appetizer, but this will vary depending on exactly what type of bread or base you use.
- To Reheat: Use the oven or toaster oven to get the crust nice and crisp again. I use my Breville, and warming pre-cooked flatbreads takes about 5 minutes on 325 degrees F at super convection (the air fryer setting). Your standard oven will accomplish the exact same thing. For maximum re-crisping, place flatbread slices directly on the rack when warming, not on a baking sheet.
