A quick and easy grilled flatbread featuring caramelized peaches, salty prosciutto, and creamy whipped ricotta, perfect for summer dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Store-bought or homemade flatbread (8-10 inches diameter)
  • Olive oil (extra virgin, for brushing)
  • Sea salt (for sprinkling)
  • Ripe peaches, halved and pitted (fresh and firm)
  • Prosciutto slices (thinly sliced)
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
  • Ricotta cheese (whole milk preferred)
  • Honey (1-2 teaspoons)
  • Fresh lemon zest
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Slice peaches in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  2. Place peaches cut-side down on grill. Grill 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens slightly. Flip and grill skin side for 2 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  3. Scoop ricotta into a bowl. Add honey, lemon zest, and black pepper. Whip with hand mixer or food processor until smooth and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Adjust honey or lemon zest to taste.
  4. Brush both sides of flatbread with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Grill flatbread 2-3 minutes per side until slightly charred and crisp but pliable.
  5. Remove flatbread from grill and spread whipped ricotta evenly over surface.
  6. Tear prosciutto slices and scatter over ricotta. Slice grilled peaches into wedges and arrange on flatbread. Add fresh basil leaves.
  7. Optionally drizzle more honey or balsamic glaze. Serve immediately while flatbread is warm and ricotta is cool and creamy.

Notes

Watch grill temperature closely to avoid burning or undercooking flatbread. Whip ricotta well for airy texture. Assemble just before serving to keep flatbread crisp. For dairy-free, use whipped coconut cream and omit honey if vegan. Gluten-free option: use almond flour flatbread.
