How do you make easy fig and goat cheese flatbread?

Preheat the oven to 425°F.  Brush the flatbread lightly with olive oil. Place in oven for 5 – 7 minutes.

Sprinkle with garlic powder and scatter on the slices of fresh fig, crumbled goat cheese and chopped walnuts.  Bake for 8 – 10 minutes.

Top with arugula.  Salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze.

Serve: Enjoy this flatbread as a starter, light lunch, or pair with a simple salad for a complete meal.

Storage Tips:

Cool completely before storing. This prevents moisture from building up and making the flatbread soggy.  Wrap the flatbread tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh and prevent it from drying out.  Store it in the refrigerator if you plan to eat it within a few days. It should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
