- It's freaking delicious. The combination of sweet, tart blueberries and tangy goat cheese is tied together perfectly with the sweetness from the apricot jam and honey. Then the fresh mint pops in and brightens everything up! The blueberries also get perfectly roasted in the oven giving them a texture that is reminiscent of a blueberry pie or cobbler. Seriously, you gotta try this one!
- It's super simple. This flatbread requires just a handful of common ingredients and you can easily customize it based on what you've got in your fridge or pantry. Check out my notes in the tips section below to get some ideas for easy substitutions you can make!
- It's quick, easy, and kid-friendly. No cooking skills are required for this one, friends! If you can turn on the oven and set a timer - you can make this recipe. This flatbread is also a great one to get the kids involved with!

Instructions
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.
Divide goat cheese evenly between flatbread crusts.
Divide blueberries evenly between crusts.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the crust are getting golden brown. Broil for 1-2 minutes.
Divde honey and mint between flatbreads, slice and enjoy!
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

Has anyone tried to make this with adding a protein like prosciutto?
Kylie
I have not, but I bet it would be delicious!
Chelsea
This is INCREDIBLE. I’ve been really into trying flatbreads with fresh, fruity flavors lately and this is my favorite so far. The different flavors go so perfectly together. Will definitely be making this all the time! 😋

I am so glad that you gave this recipe a try, Chelsea! The flavor combination is delicious!! Thanks for leaving a review 🙂
Mary B
Can you make this with naan bread?
Kristen
Can you make this the day before a party?
Kylie Lato
I think this would work as a make ahead appetizer, as long as you wait to do the final bake until just before the party so that it's fresh. Or at least the same day as the party within a couple hours if you'd prefer to serve it at room temperature. Great question, Kristen! I'd love to hear how it turns out if you give it a try. Thanks!
Bridget Paton

Kate
This was amazing. A great summer appetizer, and is fine to serve after cooling.
Used pizza dough (uncooked gooey dough), and precooked at 350 for 5 minutes before adding ingredients, and bumping heat up to finish.
Added the lemon zest with the mint and honey.
Everyone was begging for recipe. Thanks!!!

I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Kate! Pizza dough works great in place of the flatbread - great job par-baking it also to make sure it stays crisp!! Lemon zest sounds AMAZING on this 🙂 Thanks for leaving a review - I really appreciate it!
