Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Base

  • 1 large flatbread (about 10 inches)

Toppings

  • 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to fully preheat so the flatbread will bake evenly and become crispy.
  2. Prepare the Flatbread Base: Place the flatbread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  3. Add Cheese Layer: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the flatbread, followed by crumbled goat cheese or feta if using, to create a creamy, melty base layer.
  4. Arrange Peach Slices: Layer the thinly sliced peaches over the cheese, distributing them evenly to cover the surface without overcrowding, allowing each bite to have a burst of fresh sweetness.
  5. Season and Drizzle: Lightly drizzle the flatbread with olive oil, sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients.
  6. Bake the Flatbread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the flatbread edges are golden and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, scatter the fresh chopped basil leaves evenly on top for a fragrant finish, slice into portions, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, consider preheating a pizza stone and baking the flatbread directly on it.
  • Substitute peaches with nectarines or plums for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking for extra sweetness and depth.
  • This recipe is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm, melty cheese and fresh basil.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat in an oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
