Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads
- 4 oz prosciutto
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh basil leaves
- Balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, approximately 400-450°F. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Wash and slice ripe peaches into thin, uniform wedges. Pat the peach slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Brush both sides of the flatbreads lightly with olive oil, ensuring even coverage to promote crispy texture and prevent burning.
- Place flatbreads directly on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes until grill marks appear and bottom becomes crisp and golden.
- Flip the flatbreads and immediately sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the surface, allowing it to start melting.
- Arrange peach slices strategically across the cheese-covered flatbreads, ensuring even distribution.
- Grill for an additional 2-3 minutes until cheese is fully melted and peaches begin to caramelize slightly.
- Remove flatbreads from grill and immediately drape thin slices of prosciutto over the warm surface, allowing the residual heat to slightly warm the meat.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves, torn or chopped for better distribution.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze in a zigzag pattern across the flatbread for added flavor complexity.
- Let the flatbread rest for 1-2 minutes to allow cheese to set, then slice and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Tips
- Choose ripe but firm peaches to ensure they hold their shape during grilling.
- Pat peach slices dry to prevent excess moisture from making your flatbread soggy.
- Preheat your grill to a consistent medium-high heat (400-450°F) for optimal crispy results.
- Use a light hand when brushing olive oil to prevent burning.
- Let the flatbread rest briefly after cooking to allow cheese to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature.
- If you don't have a grill, a grill pan or even a hot oven can work as an alternative cooking method.
- Experiment with different types of cheese or add a sprinkle of fresh herbs for variety.
