# How to Make It:
01 - Set oven to 425°F and prepare for baking.
02 - In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook diced bacon until crispy. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
03 - Lightly brush flatbread with 1 tablespoon olive oil for moisture and flavor.
04 - Evenly distribute mozzarella, goat cheese, sliced red onion, quartered figs, and cooked bacon over flatbread. Sprinkle fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.

06 - While flatbread bakes, combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half and syrupy, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
07 - Remove flatbread from oven, drizzle with balsamic glaze and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
