Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large store-bought flatbread (about 10–12 inches)
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced thinly
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella ball, sliced or torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the balsamic glaze: Pour 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce for 10-12 minutes until syrupy. Remove from heat and cool.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
- Slice peaches about 1/4 inch thick. Slice or tear mozzarella into bite-sized pieces.
- Place flatbread on baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Lightly brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Optionally spread minced garlic evenly.
- Arrange peach slices evenly over flatbread. Scatter mozzarella pieces on top. Tear basil leaves and sprinkle over, reserving some for garnish. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake flatbread for 10-12 minutes until mozzarella melts and edges are golden brown. Watch to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and balsamic glaze over flatbread. Add reserved basil leaves for garnish.
- Slice and serve warm immediately.
Notes
Watch baking time closely if peaches are very ripe to avoid soggy flatbread. Making balsamic glaze ahead helps flavors meld. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep crust crisp; reheat in oven instead. For smoky flavor, optionally char with kitchen torch after baking.
