Prosciutto & Caramelized Onion Flatbread
This flatbread is everything you want in a shareable bite—crispy, creamy, savory, and just the right amount of sweet. It starts with a base that’s slathered with rich ricotta and our Roasted Red Pepper & Thyme Dip, adding depth, warmth, and a hint of tang. From there, it’s layered with tender caramelized onions, juicy cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of parmesan for extra umami. Once baked to bubbling perfection, the flatbread gets finished with delicate folds of prosciutto, a handful of peppery arugula, and a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze for a final pop of brightness.
The result? A flavor-packed, texture-rich flatbread that feels both effortless and elevated. Whether you’re serving it up as a stunning starter, a light lunch, or a weeknight dinner that’s anything but boring, this recipe is quick to assemble, easy to customize, and guaranteed to impress with every bite.
