Ingredients

• 2 Flatbreads
• 3 ounces Prosciutto
• 2 ounces Arugula
• 1 Small Yellow Onion
• ⅓ cup Shredded Mozzarella
• 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic (divided)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
• ½ tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400℉.
2. Step 2: Drizzle each flatbread with olive oil and spread the minced garlic evenly between both flatbreads. Place the flatbreads directly on the oven rack and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
3. Step 3: Cut the prosciutto and onion into thin strips. In a pan over medium-high heat, cook the prosciutto for 1-2 minutes until crispy. Remove and set aside on a towel-lined plate.
4. Step 4: Using the same pan, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and cook the onions over medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes until caramelized. Distribute the caramelized onions evenly over the flatbreads, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
5. Step 5: Return the flatbreads to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted. Meanwhile, mix honey, apple cider vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes in a bowl. Add the crispy prosciutto and stir to combine.
6. Step 6: Remove the flatbreads from the oven, drizzle with the spicy honey and prosciutto mixture, and top with fresh arugula before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, toast the flatbreads a little longer before adding toppings.
• Swap prosciutto for crispy bacon or thinly sliced salami if preferred.
• Add a sprinkle of Parmesan or goat cheese for a richer flavor.
• Use fresh garlic instead of minced for a stronger, more aromatic punch.
• Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to control the spiciness of the honey drizzle.

Storage

Store any leftover flatbread pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness rather than using a microwave. Fresh arugula is best added just before serving for optimal texture.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of bread instead of flatbread?

Is it possible to make this recipe vegetarian?

Absolutely! Replace the prosciutto with sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables and omit the spicy honey drizzle or substitute with a balsamic glaze for added flavor.

Flatbread Base

• 2 Flatbreads
• 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic (divided)
• ⅓ cup Shredded Mozzarella

Toppings

• 3 ounces Prosciutto
• 1 Small Yellow Onion
• 2 ounces Arugula

Spicy Honey Drizzle

• 1 tablespoon Honey
• ½ tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400℉ (204℃) to prepare for baking the flatbreads.
2. Prep Flatbreads: Drizzle each flatbread with olive oil. Evenly spread the minced garlic over the two flatbreads. Place the flatbreads directly on the oven rack and bake for 5 minutes to slightly crisp and infuse the garlic flavor. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook Prosciutto: Slice the prosciutto into thin strips. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the prosciutto for 1-2 minutes until crispy. Once done, transfer to a towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. Caramelize Onions: In the same pan, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and medium-high heat the thinly sliced yellow onion. Cook for 7-8 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat.
5. Assemble Flatbreads: Spread the caramelized onions evenly over each flatbread. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
6. Bake with Cheese: Place the assembled flatbreads back on the oven rack and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Make Spicy Honey Drizzle: While the flatbreads bake, combine honey, apple cider vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes in a bowl. Add the crispy prosciutto strips to this mixture and stir to coat evenly.
8. Finish and Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven, drizzle generously with the spicy honey and prosciutto mixture, and top with fresh arugula. Serve immediately.

Notes

• For extra crispiness, you can toast the flatbreads a bit longer before adding toppings.
• If you prefer less spice, reduce the crushed red pepper flakes or omit them entirely.
• To make it vegetarian, simply omit the prosciutto and adjust the drizzle ingredients accordingly.
• Fresh mozzarella can be used instead of shredded for different texture.
• This recipe is perfect for a quick meal or appetizer and pairs well with a crisp white wine or sparkling water.
