Amp up your table with this super easy Prosciutto Arugula Flatbread Pizza. Simple ingredients, with big flavors – this is one you’ll want to make a lot of!
Now that party season is well and truly underway, I wanted to share with you my FAVORITE recipe to make for sharing (truth be told, it’s also my favorite for NOT sharing). I like to make things easy for you. You’re so welcome.
We’re talking sweet caramelized onions, thinly sliced salty prosciutto, creamy cheese, and peppery arugula. Can you GET any better than this?
The time to make this is about an hour, but that is predominantly the caramelized onions. If you are like me, you’ll make a ton of onions ahead and freeze them in baggies for this exact kind of recipe (or to add to a grilled cheese). If you have everything prepped and ready to go on baking sheets – you can have this ready in under 15 minutes!
The flatbreads themselves come together and cook quickly. You can assemble the day before if you like, and just bake and top with the arugula and Parmesan when you need them. The point is, relax. Enjoy the holidays!

Kylee’s Notes
See my post on how to make caramelized onions ahead
- Make these flat bread pizzas ahead – and cook when your guests arrive. Top with the arugula and Parmesan right before serving.
- Use pita bread in place of the flatbread (if that’s what you have!)
- Switch it up – use homemade pizza sauce (or store-bought) and mix up your toppings!
- Switch out the gouda for mozzarella cheese, gruyere or any kind of cheese that you particularly enjoy – whatever you like, is whatever goes!

Key Recipe Ingredients
Note: This highlights some ingredients. Full list is in the recipe card.
- Caramelized onions. See notes.
- Garlic & olive oil. This forms the base instead of using tomato or cream-based sauce. It adds a delicious but subtle garlic flavor to the flatbreads.
- Prosciutto. Get this in your supermarket deli or in the specialty lunch meats section.
- Flatbreads. Any kind of flatbread or lavosh base will do. You can even use tortillas!
- Gouda. I like gouda for its mild, soft taste and texture. No worries if you can’t find it; gruyere and mozzarella are great stand-ins!
- Arugula. Baby arugula is SO good; it has a slightly peppery flavor that enhances the overall flavor of this flatbread.
- Parmesan. Shaved Parmesan adds a little salty flavor to the flatbread. Shred your own or buy it shaved. Either is great!

This was delicious! And so easy. The caramelized onions took about an hour but they were worth it and the directions linked here were easy to follow. Everyone loved it! Will definitely make these again
This turned out awesome! Thank you! (I used a little bit of Mozzarella)
Made this for dinner. Restaurant quality and look. Thank you!!
The flat bread in your photos looks delicious! What brand is that?
I honestly don’t remember! I do know I picked them up near the deli at the grocery store though.
My youngest loves prosciutto on his pizza!
