A quick and elegant flatbread featuring caramelized peaches and creamy burrata cheese, perfect for entertaining and sharing with guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made flatbread or naan
  • 3 medium ripe but firm peaches, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 8 ounces (225g) fresh burrata cheese
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Fresh basil or thyme leaves
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
  2. Wash and thinly slice 3 medium peaches, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
  4. Carefully add the peach slices in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Place your flatbread on the baking sheet. Lightly brush the surface with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  6. Pre-bake the flatbread in the oven for about 5-7 minutes to get it crispy.
  7. Remove the flatbread from the oven. Tear about 8 ounces of burrata into pieces and scatter evenly over the warm flatbread.
  8. Layer the caramelized peaches on top of the burrata.
  9. Sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper and scatter fresh basil or thyme leaves.
  10. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for a tangy finish.
  11. Return to the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes, just until the burrata softens and the flatbread edges turn golden brown.
  12. Slice into rustic squares and serve immediately.

Notes

Watch peaches closely during caramelization to avoid burning. Pre-baking the flatbread prevents sogginess. Use a light hand with toppings to keep the flatbread crisp. For extra texture, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or crushed red pepper flakes after baking. Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to revive crispiness; avoid microwaving.
