Cook Time15 minutes mins

Course: Appetizer

Cuisine: Mediterranean

Servings: 1

Ingredients

• 1 store-bought flatbread or pizza dough about 10–12”
• 3 –4 ripe plums thinly sliced
• 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 caramelized onions thinly sliced cooked until soft
• ½ cup shelled pistachios roughly chopped
• Olive oil
• Salt & black pepper (I used Smoked Salt found through this link)
• Hot honey for drizzling
• Fresh thyme or arugula (optional garnish

Instructions

• Preheat your pizza oven for one hour, bringing it between 500-600 degrees. If using pizza dough, roll it out into a rough oval or rectangle and place it on a pizza peel sprinkled with semolina flour.

Mix your ricotta: In a small bowl, stir together ricotta, lemon zest, a pinch of salt, and a crack of black pepper.

Build the flatbread:

• Brush the dough or flatbread lightly with olive oil.
• Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the base.
• Arrange plum slices and red onion (if using) on top.
• Sprinkle with half the pistachios now (they’ll toast up nicely).
• Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the plums look softened and slightly caramelized.

Finish strong:

• Drizzle hot honey generously over the top.
• Sprinkle the remaining pistachios.
• Add fresh thyme or a handful of arugula if you’re feeling extra.
• Slice it up and serve warm. Bonus points if there’s a glass of chilled rosé nearby

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

• Pair with a simple arugula salad and a glass of rosé or sparkling water with lemon.
• Slice into small squares and serve as an appetizer at brunch or happy hour.
• Want to make it a meal? Add a few slices of prosciutto before baking.
