Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon*; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Carefully discard all but a thin layer of bacon fat from pan. Once bacon is cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
While bacon cooks, halve, peel, and thinly slice onion.
Heat pan with bacon fat over medium-high heat (if pan seems dry, add a drizzle of oil). Add onion and season with salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 3-4 minutes. Turn off heat.
While onion cooks, brush or rub each flatbread with a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place flatbreads (dimpled sides down) on a baking sheet. (For 4 servings, divide flatbreads between two sheets.)
Toast on top rack until golden brown and crisp, 3-4 minutes. (For 4, toast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
Once flatbreads are toasted, flip (dimpled sides up) and top evenly with mozzarella, onion, bacon, and Monterey Jack.
Bake flatbreads on top rack until until cheese melts, 4-6 minutes. (For 4 servings, bake on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.) TIP: Watch carefully so flatbreads don’t burn!
Transfer flatbreads to a cutting board; drizzle with as much fig jam as you like.
Slice flatbreads into quarters; divide between plates and serve with chili flakes on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many loved the unique sweet-and-savory combo, though some found it needed more fig jam for balance 🍯.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, with simple assembly and a short cooking time.
- Suggestions: Consider adding arugula, tomatoes, or a fried egg for freshness and substance. Double the fig jam for more flavor impact.
- Portions: Some felt it was light for a full meal; try pairing with a side salad for a more satisfying dinner.
- Texture: Toast the flatbread carefully to achieve the perfect crispy base without over-browning.
Reviews from our home cooks
Would have been four stars if the fig jam had something that was a bit more spicy to balance against - pepperoni instead of bacon would've been the better call here. Or alternatively a spicier jam instead of sweet. That said, I love these flatbread recipes and look forward to more varieties to try!
The flatbreads were very good. There needed to be more fig jam. The portion for both flatbreads was very small and the flavor got lost. If there had been more fig jam, we would have given this recipe 4 stars, too.
This was tasty, however, it could have used a much larger portion of fig jam. Also, a base for the flat breads would have been tasty. I did use olive oil on the dimpled side of mine. Also, I would consider this medium prep!
Excellent flatbread and it's so easy to make. The fig jam is unique, interesting, and tasty.
This was delicious and I would definitely order again. I wish it had come with a second pack of jam and a slightly bigger onion. I felt like I didn't have enough of those two ingredients.
Great taste and easy to make, just wish there was more fig!
Excellent! The chili flakes and jam add just the right combination of sweet and spicy!
Great lunch option. I topped mine with a fried egg sunny side up and it was delicious!!
I was eager to make this as I had never used these flavor profiles before. I'm going to make this again as an appetizer.
Surprisingly good for how simple this is. We added more bacon. Very tasty!
