Flatbread Base
- 1 pre-made flatbread (about 8–10 inches in diameter)
Toppings
- 1 large ripe peach, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or fresh burrata, as preferred
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the flatbread quickly.
- Prepare Flatbread: Place the flatbread on a baking sheet or pizza stone to get a crispy base when baked.
- Add Toppings: Evenly distribute the shredded cheese over the flatbread. Then, layer thin peach slices on top of the cheese. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the peaches to infuse fresh herbal notes.
- Bake: Place the flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the flatbread edges are golden and crisp.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice and enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture combination.
Notes
- For a more savory twist, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
- Use burrata cheese for a creamier texture instead of shredded mozzarella.
- You can substitute peaches with nectarines or apricots during other seasons.
- To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free flatbread base.
