It’s the season for flatbread.

Are you ready for this recipe with summertime ingredients?

I’m all about the figs this season, and who doesn’t love some flatbread?

Figs are the superfood you need this summer.  They’re a great source of fiber and full of minerals and vitamins.

Figs are part of the mulberry family and have a unique, sweet taste and a soft and chewy texture.  You can eat them dried or off the tree, and they can be enjoyed all year round.  

The fig is actually one of the oldest trees in the world, the ficus tree can be traced back to some of the earliest historical documents and were actually so popular in Ancient Greece, that they created laws that prevented them from being exported.

Figs are a good source of antioxidants and are rich in potassium, calcium, iron, and Vitamins A and K, and because of their fiber content, they can act as a natural laxative.  They’re also a great way to add sweetness with a dried fruit.

Ingredients:

  • 1 French Baguette
  • 3 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
  • 5 Figs
  • ½ Cup of Gorgonzola
  • 12 pieces of Pancetta
