Ingredients

  • 2 flatbreads (such as Stonefire Naan bread)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 6-8 ounces fresh mozzarella (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2-3 fresh peaches (peeled and sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Fresh basil leaves (chopped or cut into ribbons)
  • Balsamic glaze (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over both flatbreads. Arrange the slices of fresh mozzarella and dollops of ricotta cheese across the surface.
  2. Step 2: Layer the peeled and sliced peaches over the cheese. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  3. Step 3: Remove from the oven, then drizzle honey over the flatbreads. Sprinkle with fresh basil leaves, and if you like, finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for added sweetness and tang.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra crunch, add toasted pine nuts or walnuts on top before serving.
  • Substitute peaches with nectarines or ripe plums for a slightly different flavor.
  • Use a pizza stone to achieve a crispier crust.
  • If balsamic glaze isn’t available, reduce balsamic vinegar with a little sugar on the stove until thickened.

Storage

Store any leftover flatbread wrapped tightly in aluminum foil or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-7 minutes to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

Notes

  • For best results, use ripe but firm peaches to avoid a soggy flatbread.
  • If balsamic glaze is not available, you can reduce balsamic vinegar over low heat to create a similar effect.
  • Stonefire Naan or any similar store-bought flatbread works well as a base and saves time.
  • This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on your desired level of sweetness.
