Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced (~ 3/4 pound)
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fig jam or 1 tablespoon honey
- 8 ounces fresh figs, sliced top to bottom in about 1/4-inch pieces
- 2 whole wheat lavash flatbreads (weighing about 3.5 ounces each)
- 1 cup arugula
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and swirl to cover. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 4 - 5 minutes until the onions begin to soften. Reduce the heat to medium low. Sprinkle with the salt and stir. Continue to cook until the onions are caramelized, about 45 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Place the flatbreads on pizza pans or cookie sheets. Mix the fig jam into the ricotta cheese and spread evenly over the flatbreads, leaving a small margin on the edges. Cover with the caramelized onions and sliced figs.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the figs are soft. After removing from the oven, sprinkle with arugula and cut each flatbread into 8 appetizer-sized pieces.
Notes
To save some time, you can caramelize the onions earlier in the day or even a day or 2 ahead of time.
