Cambozola and Fig Flatbread
A warm and toasty lavash (sheet flatbread) covered in bold creamy Cambozola cheese and figs with fresh thyme and pine nuts baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 large sheet lavash
- 1 large egg white
- 6 oz Cambozola cheese without the rind, at room temperature
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme 1 teaspoon if using dried
- 16 (approx 1lb) figs cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
- handful pine nuts
- Salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the lavash on a baking sheet and brush with a little egg white. Place in the oven for 1 minute to seal the bread.
- Let cool.
- Once cool, mix the remaining egg white with the softened cheese and spread evenly over the entire lavash.
- Sprinkle with half the thyme leaves (or all the dried thyme, if using).
- Layer the figs on top of the cheese, as if they were roofing shingles.
- Sprinkle with the pine nuts and remaining fresh thyme leaves.
- Lightly salt and generously pepper the top of the flatbread.
- Drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 11-12 minutes until edges are crisp and brown and figs are soft.
- Cut into quarters and serve immediately.
Notes
Serves 2 as a light meal with a salad, or 4 as a first course.
