This blueberry feta flatbread with hot honey is my go-to summer snack when I want something unexpected but ridiculously easy. It’s sweet, salty, tangy, creamy, and spicy—basically every flavor I crave rolled into one. I make it with fresh blueberries, creamy ricotta, tangy feta, and a drizzle of spicy honey for a flatbread that’s perfect for parties, lunches, or just a snack I won’t share.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how fast and fun this flatbread is to make. The combination of blueberry preserves and hot honey might sound unusual, but it just works. The sweet jam and fresh berries pair beautifully with the salty bite of feta and the soft creaminess of ricotta. And the hot honey? It brings everything together. Plus, I can throw this together in about 20 minutes and look like I planned a fancy appetizer.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Flatbread (naan, pita, or gluten-free option)
- Blueberry preserves (or raspberry, fig, or cherry preserves)
- Fresh blueberries (not frozen)
- Feta cheese (or goat cheese, queso fresco, or dairy-free option)
- Ricotta cheese
- Hot honey (or regular honey mixed with chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce)
- Fresh mint leaves (or basil, microgreens, or lemon zest)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the flatbreads: I place the flatbreads on the baking sheet and spread a layer of blueberry preserves over each, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
- Add the toppings: I sprinkle crumbled feta over the preserves, dollop spoonfuls of ricotta, then scatter fresh blueberries on top.
- Bake: I bake the flatbreads for 10–12 minutes until the edges are crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish and serve: I let the flatbreads cool slightly, then top with torn mint leaves and drizzle with hot honey. I slice and serve them while still warm.
Servings and timing
This recipe serves 2–4.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10–12 minutes
Total time: 20–25 minutes
Variations
- I swap in fresh blackberries or halved cherries if I’m out of blueberries.
- For extra creaminess, I spread a thin layer of ricotta underneath the preserves before baking.
- I use goat cheese for a tangier twist or skip the cheese altogether for a dairy-free version.
- When I want extra crunch, I top with toasted almonds or crushed pistachios before serving.
storage/reheating
This flatbread is best enjoyed fresh, but I store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. I reheat it in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness. I avoid the microwave so the crust doesn’t get soggy.
FAQs
Can I make this flatbread ahead of time?
I prep everything ahead and assemble just before baking. If I bake it too far in advance, the crust can soften as it cools.
What’s the best type of flatbread to use?
I usually go with store-bought naan or pita. Thin, sturdy flatbreads work best to hold up under the toppings without getting soggy.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
I don’t recommend it—frozen berries release too much moisture and can make the flatbread soggy. Fresh is best.
What’s a good substitute for hot honey?
I mix regular honey with a pinch of chili flakes or a drop of hot sauce. It’s easy to control the spice level that way.
Is this a main dish or an appetizer?
I serve it both ways. As an appetizer, I slice it into small wedges. For lunch or a light dinner, I keep it in larger pieces.
Conclusion
This blueberry feta flatbread with hot honey is everything I want in a summer snack—quick, flavorful, and totally unique. I love the way the sweetness of the berries and preserves plays off the saltiness of the cheese and the kick from the honey. Whether I’m serving it at a party or sneaking a slice for myself, this flatbread is always a hit.
