Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Yes, but thaw and pat them dry before using to prevent excess moisture from making the flatbread soggy.

What can I use instead of goat cheese?

Ricotta, cream cheese, or feta work well as substitutes. Each offers a slightly different texture and flavor profile.

How do I prevent the flatbread from becoming too soft?

Pre-baking the flatbread for a few minutes before adding toppings helps maintain crispiness. Also, avoid overloading it with wet ingredients.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, assemble everything except for the mint and final honey drizzle. Bake when ready to serve for the freshest taste.

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the flatbread on the sheet and lightly brush it with olive oil to enhance crispiness.
Spread the jam: Evenly spread the apricot jam across the surface of the flatbread, ensuring a thin layer that won’t overpower the other flavors.
Add the cheese: Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the flatbread, allowing some space between pieces so they melt slightly without overpowering the dish.
Top with blueberries: Scatter fresh blueberries across the flatbread, pressing them slightly into the jam so they stay in place while baking.
Drizzle with honey: Lightly drizzle honey over the flatbread to add a touch of sweetness that complements the tanginess of the goat cheese.
Bake to perfection: Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the flatbread is golden brown and the cheese is soft and creamy.
Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh mint. Drizzle with additional honey if desired. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crunch, add chopped walnuts or almonds before baking. To enhance the savory profile, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or a few red pepper flakes on top. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes before serving.
