(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent any blueberry jam or berries from spilling over during baking.

2. Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Spread the blueberry preserves on the flatbread using a spoon, leaving about a ½ inch of crust on the edges.

4. Sprinkle the feta cheese and dollop the ricotta over the flatbreads. Top with whole blueberries. For a better melt, distribute the ricotta in little spoonfuls and sprinkle the feta evenly.

5. Toast the flatbread in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is lightly toasted and the cheese has melted.

6. Let the flatbread cool for a couple of minutes before drizzling with hot honey and adding mint leaves.

7. Slice and serve.

Variations

• Fruit Swap: If you’re out of blueberries, try using blackberries, raspberries, or even strawberries.

• Cheese Swap: If you prefer a different flavor, swap feta for goat cheese, or try adding cream cheese for a richer texture.

• Gluten-Free: For a gluten-free option, substitute the flatbread with gluten-free flatbreads or cauliflower crust.

• Spicier: If you love extra heat, increase the amount of hot honey or add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes on top.

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The flatbread may soften a bit but remains tasty.

• Reheating: To bring back some of the crispiness, reheat slices in a 400°F oven for about 5 minutes. You can also use a microwave, but the flatbread may lose some of its crispiness.

• Freezing: Freezing is not ideal for this recipe because the fresh berries and cheese may become watery. However, you can assemble the flatbread up to the baking step, freeze it, and bake it fresh when ready to serve.

• Make-Ahead: Assemble the flatbread up to step 4, cover, and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Bake it just before serving.
