Home Cooking – Warm Fig, White Nectarine & Boccocini Flatbread
After having a minor meat overdose (neverrrr!) with Plan B Wagyu Beef Burger, my wagyu steak and Ribs and Rumps, I thought it was only appropriate to have something healthy to balance it out. When I say something healthy I mean something with lots of stringy, cheesy goodness and smothered in honey hee hee.
Since I had figs and white nectarines aplenty at home I decided to create something out of them but had no idea what to make. When figs are in the question, there is only one site to go and that is a blog with fig in its’ name – Fig & Cherry by Christie 
! Checking out her favourite fig recipes, my eyes immediately zeroed upon this one recipe. A Warm Fig, Apple and Gorgonzola Flatbread by Steamy Kitchen, so a big thanks to these 2 lovely ladies for sharing ^^!. As soon as I clicked on the link, the photos had me mesmerized so dinner was decided! I altered the recipe as you can see and I sorta of just impromptued (this isn’t a real word is it?) the method as well.
Warm Fig, White Nectarine & Boccocini Flatbread
Mmm yummy figs!
Juicy and sweet White Nectarines
Basically, I just cut these up into eighths and scattered them all over the flatbread.
Cherry Boccocini
Add a generous dotting of cheese balls among the figs and nectarine slices mmmmm cheese.
Chuck it into the oven at about 160 degrees C and oven it for about 10 – 20 mins.
Tada!
I should have actually cooked it for a bit longer but I was starving at this point haha and the smell was soo good ^^!
Drizzle generously with good quality honey and then dig in!
The combination of the the 2 sweet fruits, with a mild cheese and a dosage of honey created the perfect light meal for hot weather.The soft and juicy nectarines create a nice contrast to the firmer figs with their seeds and these is cheese so I am a happy camper ^^! The only problem is that the juices from the nectarines may soak through the flatbread so eat it quickly, hot and fresh out of the oven!

That looks divine! I know what you mean about being too impatient to let it cook longer. My sister can always get her cheese meltier than mine, I just can’t wait long enough.
