Ingredients
Flatbread Base
- 1 flatbread (roughly 5 x 10 inches)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 large fresh peach, chopped
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the flatbread. A hot oven ensures a crispy crust.
- Assemble Flatbread: Spread the whole milk ricotta cheese evenly over the flatbread surface. Then, scatter the chopped fresh peach pieces evenly on top of the ricotta layer.
- Bake: Place the assembled flatbread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust turns a lovely golden brown and the ricotta is warmed through.
- Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove the flatbread from the oven. Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top, and drizzle with balsamic glaze for a perfect sweet-tangy finish.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor and texture contrast.
- Whole milk ricotta provides creaminess; you can substitute with part-skim ricotta for a lighter version.
- Ensure the flatbread is about the size recommended to cook evenly and achieve the right crispiness.
- For added texture, consider a light sprinkle of toasted nuts like almonds or pistachios.
- Balsamic glaze can be replaced with a balsamic reduction or high-quality balsamic vinegar if glaze is not available.
