Print Recipe

A quick and easy grilled flatbread featuring caramelized plums, salty prosciutto, and fresh arugula, perfect for summer parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large store-bought flatbread or naan (8–10 inches)
  • 3–4 ripe but firm plums, sliced thinly
  • 4–6 thin slices prosciutto
  • 2 cups fresh arugula, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (optional)
  • Small handful fresh thyme or basil leaves (optional)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high, around 375–400°F (190–200°C). If using a grill pan, warm it over medium heat.
  2. Wash and dry the plums thoroughly. Slice them thinly, about 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick.
  3. Lightly coat both sides of the flatbread with olive oil.
  4. Place the flatbread directly on the grill grates. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and it’s warm and slightly crisp.
  5. Arrange the plum slices on the grill grates or use a grill basket. Grill for 1-2 minutes per side until they soften and get char lines.
  6. Remove the flatbread from the grill and immediately layer the grilled plums evenly on top.
  7. Tear or lay slices of prosciutto over the plums while the flatbread is still warm.
  8. Scatter the arugula generously over the top. Season lightly with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  9. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled flatbread and garnish with fresh thyme or basil if desired.
  10. Slice the flatbread into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep a close eye on the plums while grilling to avoid mushiness. Adding prosciutto and arugula while the flatbread is warm softens the meat and greens, enhancing flavor and texture. For vegan or dairy-free options, substitute prosciutto with grilled eggplant or smoked tofu and use vegan-friendly balsamic glaze or omit it. Gluten-free flatbread can be used to make this recipe gluten-free.
