on the menu: fresh fig and stilton flatbreads

I spotted this image all over Pinterest a few weeks ago and finally came across the recipe. Let me tell you, it's so easy to make and is delicious - I could have it a least once a week. Who doesn't love figs and blue cheese?

Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. Bon appétit!

Ingredients:

1. 1 piece regular or whole wheat lavash – cut widthwise so it makes two rectangular pieces about 4″x7″ in size. You can make your own lavash but there are lots of good quality storebought options out there. You can also substitute lavash with premade flatbreads, pizza crust or puff pastry (baked per the instructions).

2. 4 tbsp. onion jam or fig preserves

3. 10-12 fresh Mission or Brown Turkey figs – thinly sliced

4. 4 ounces good quality Stilton cheese, crumbled – you can use goat cheese, blue cheese or Gorgonzola here

5. 4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed from tough stems

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Place the two pieces of lavash on a baking sheet and bake until it begins to barely crisp – 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool to the touch. Spread 2 tbsp. of your preferred jam on each piece of lavash. Even distribute the sliced figs over the lavash bread. Top each with 2 ounces of crumbled cheese and evenly sprinkle on the thyme leaves. Bake until crispy and the cheese has melted – this took 5 to 6 minutes in my oven. Cut into rough pieces and serve while still warm.
