A quick and easy summer flatbread featuring roasted peaches, creamy goat cheese, and fresh peppery arugula, perfect for warm evenings and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Pre-made flatbread or pizza crust (Stonefire brand recommended)
  • Extra virgin olive oil (for brushing)
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper (to season)
  • 2 medium fresh peaches, sliced (ripe but firm)
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (Chavrie recommended)
  • 2 cups fresh arugula, packed
  • 1 tablespoon honey (for drizzling)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or reduction (optional)
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts or pecans (optional, for crunch)
  • Fresh thyme leaves (optional, a sprinkle for herbal notes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and let it fully heat (about 10 minutes).
  2. Slice 2 medium peaches into thin wedges, about 1/4-inch thick. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Arrange peach slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes until caramelized and softened but not mushy.
  4. Place flatbread on a separate baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.
  5. Remove peaches from oven and scatter evenly over the flatbread. Crumble 4 ounces of goat cheese on top.
  6. Return flatbread to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until crust is golden and cheese slightly melted.
  7. Remove from oven and scatter 2 cups fresh arugula over the flatbread. Drizzle with honey and balsamic glaze if using. Sprinkle toasted nuts or fresh thyme leaves if desired.
  8. Slice into pieces and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Do not overcrowd peach slices when roasting to ensure caramelization. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Brush olive oil evenly on flatbread to help crisp the crust. Add arugula after baking to keep it fresh and peppery. Rotate flatbread halfway through baking for even crust. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast. For gluten-free option, use gluten-free crust. Substitute goat cheese with feta or plant-based cheese for vegan version.
