Ingredients and How to Make Blissful Berries & Chèvre Flatbread Delight

Ingredients:

2 homemade or store-bought flatbread crusts
2 tablespoons olive oil
4-6 tablespoons apricot jam
Zest of 1 lemon
8 oz. plain goat cheese
1 cup fresh blueberries
4-6 tablespoons honey
A small handful of fresh mint leaves, julienne cut
Kosher salt to taste

Directions:

Prep: Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Roll out your flatbread dough if making from scratch using the provided Golden Mediterranean Flatbread recipe.
Assemble: Brush each flatbread crust with olive oil. Spread apricot jam over the crusts and sprinkle evenly with lemon zest. Crumble goat cheese over the top, then scatter blueberries.
Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden. Switch to broil for an extra crispy finish for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with julienned mint. Add a pinch of Kosher salt, slice, and serve immediately.

Tips, Shortcuts, and Variations

Shortcut Dough: Use pre-made flatbread or naan to save time without sacrificing flavor.
Variations: Substitute raspberries or sliced strawberries for blueberries or try peach jam instead of apricot for a different taste.
Cheese Options: Not a fan of goat cheese? Feta or ricotta can be excellent alternatives.

Storing Leftovers

This flatbread is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warm and crispy.

Perfect Pairings

Serve your flatbread with a light, refreshing salad or a glass of chilled white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or a dry Riesling, to complement the fruity, tangy flavors of the dish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I make this flatbread vegan? A: Absolutely! Substitute the goat cheese with a vegan cheese option and use agave syrup instead of honey.

Q: Is this recipe suitable for kids? A: Yes, kids will love the sweet and cheesy combination! For younger palates, you may want to reduce the lemon zest.

Q: Can I grill this flatbread? A: Yes, grilling instead of baking can add a delightful smoky flavor. Just prepare the flatbread as usual and grill over medium heat.
