Make my super quick and easy 5 minute flatbread dough and par-bake it according to recipe directions. Or use two store-bought flatbread crusts.

Brush both crusts with olive oil. Divide apricot jam and lemon zest evenly between the flatbread crusts.

Tips

I would not recommend using frozen blueberries for this flatbread – fresh is going to be best in this recipe! Frozen blueberries tend to emit a lot of moisture as they cook. While the fresh blueberries will also emit some moisture, it will not be nearly as much. Using frozen berries may result in a soggy flatbread, and nobody wants that!
If you don’t have fresh blueberries on hand, you can substitute other fruits in their place. This recipe is really just a blueprint for you to customize and make your own. Other fruits that would work great in place of the blueberries include:
- strawberries
- blackberries
- raspberries
- sliced pears
- sliced apples
If you’re not into goat cheese, feel free to substitute it with your family’s favorite cheese instead! I love the creamy texture and tangy flavor of the goat cheese but you can replace it with:
- fresh mozzarella
- brie
- camembert
- cotija
- cream cheese
- mascarpone
- ricotta
- feta
Don’t have any apricot jam on hand? No problem! The apricot jam is spread on this flatbread partially to give the flatbread some moisture but also to impart some sweetness to counteract the tangy, savory goat cheese. Good substitutes for apricot jam include:
- fig jam (if you haven’t tried this – PLEASE DO – it’s phenomenal)
- orange marmalade
- peach jam
- blueberry jelly
- strawberry jelly
- grape jelly
