Blackberry Ricotta Flatbread

Here’s a recipe for Blackberry Ricotta Flatbread—a perfect combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors!

Ingredients

For the Flatbread:

• 1 store-bought flatbread or naan (or make your own)
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
• 1 tablespoon honey (plus more for drizzling)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or use rosemary for a stronger flavor)
• 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• A pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Optional Garnishes:

• Handful of arugula or baby greens
• Balsamic glaze drizzle
• Chopped toasted walnuts or pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven while it heats up for a crispier flatbread.
2. Prepare the Base:
   Brush the flatbread lightly with olive oil on both sides. Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the flatbread.
3. Add Toppings:
   Scatter blackberries on top of the ricotta. Use the back of a spoon to gently smash a few berries to release their juices. Sprinkle the thyme leaves, crumbled goat cheese (if using), salt, and pepper evenly over the flatbread.
4. Bake:
   Transfer the flatbread onto the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 8–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is slightly bubbly.
5. Finish and Garnish:
   Drizzle honey over the flatbread right out of the oven. If desired, add arugula, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
6. Serve:
   Slice into wedges or squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

This Blackberry Ricotta Flatbread makes an excellent appetizer, snack, or light meal. Enjoy!
