Ingredients You’ll Need

The beauty of Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Flatbreads lies in just a handful of simple, vibrant ingredients. Each one plays an essential role—bringing freshness, texture, and bursts of color that truly make this recipe unforgettable.

• Naan bread or flatbreads (2): These form the crisp, chewy base and grill up beautifully—use your favorite for that perfect bite.
• Peaches (2, sliced into wedges): Select ripe but still firm peaches for luscious, caramelized grill marks without falling apart.
• Olive oil (for brushing): Helps your peaches achieve those gorgeous, smoky grill marks and brings extra richness.
• Basil pesto (1/3 cup): Use homemade or good-quality store-bought pesto for major flavor impact and an herby, aromatic layer.
• Prosciutto (3 ounces): Silky, salty prosciutto pairs perfectly with the sweetness of peaches—tear it into bite-sized pieces for even coverage.
• Cherry tomatoes (1/2 cup, halved): Fresh, juicy tomatoes add brightness, acidity, and a juicy pop with every bite.
• Burrata cheese: This ultra-creamy cheese is the star topping—tear it and scatter over for creamy puddles that melt into the flatbread.
• Fresh basil: A generous scatter of basil leaves not only looks gorgeous but also ties together every vibrant flavor on the flatbread.

Variations

One thing I love most about these Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Flatbreads is how easy they are to personalize. Don’t be afraid to get creative based on what’s in your fridge—or the preferences of your family and friends!

• Make it Vegetarian: Skip the prosciutto and add extra grilled veggies—like zucchini ribbons or roasted red peppers—for a satisfying meatless version.
• Try Different Cheeses: Substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella, ricotta, or whipped goat cheese for a new twist on creamy decadence.
• Change Up the Produce: Swap peaches for nectarines, plums, or even figs when they’re in season—each brings its own delicious personality!
• Go Gluten-Free: Use your favorite gluten-free flatbread or pizza crust—the toppings shine on any good base!

How to Make Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Flatbreads

Step 1: Grill the Peaches

Start by heating your grill (outdoor or a stovetop grill pan) to medium-high. Brush your peach wedges generously with olive oil to help prevent sticking and boost caramelization. Place them on the grill, flesh side down, and cook for 1–2 minutes. Flip carefully and grill for another 1–2 minutes until they’re lightly charred and fragrant. Transfer them to a plate to cool while you prep the next layer of flavor.

Step 2: Prepare the Flatbreads

While the grill is still nice and hot, spread a generous swoosh of basil pesto onto each flatbread. The pesto will soak in slightly and become even more aromatic. Next, arrange ribbons of prosciutto evenly over the flatbreads. This way, they’ll warm through when grilling, intensifying their savory flavor.

Step 3: Grill the Flatbreads

Carefully set the pesto-and-prosciutto topped flatbreads onto the grill. Cover with the grill lid and cook for about 5 minutes—just until the flatbreads are crisped, and the edges are slightly golden. This step gives a wonderfully toasty base and lets all the flavors start mingling together.

Step 4: Finish with Fresh Toppings

Once off the grill, it’s time to dress things up! Tear and spoon luxurious dollops of burrata onto the warm flatbreads. Scatter over the cherry tomato halves and add your beautiful grilled peaches. Finish with fresh basil leaves, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and an extra drizzle of olive oil for that irresistible glossy sheen.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Use a sharp pizza cutter or chef’s knife to slice the Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Flatbreads into shareable pieces. Serve immediately while the cheese is creamy and the flatbreads are perfectly crisp.

How to Serve Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Flatbreads

Garnishes

A shower of fresh basil leaves is the classic garnish, but don’t be afraid to get creative! You can sprinkle on toasted pine nuts for a lovely crunch, add microgreens for a pop of color, or drizzle a little honey or balsamic glaze if you’re craving extra sweetness and tang.

Side Dishes

Pair your Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Flatbreads with a crisp arugula salad, a colorful caprese platter, or chilled cucumber soup for a meal that feels like sunshine. I also love serving them alongside sparkling rosé—it’s the perfect celebration of summer flavors!

Creative Ways to Present

Sliced into strips, these flatbreads become the ultimate shareable appetizer for picnics or patio parties. Try serving on a wooden board with extra basil tucked around the edges, or cut them into smaller squares for a chic finger food at your next cocktail night.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, store your Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. I recommend separating any extra basil leaves and adding those fresh just before serving for best flavor.

Freezing

While the assembled flatbreads with cheese and peaches don’t freeze well, you can absolutely freeze the pre-grilled (plain) flatbread base. Cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to a month—then just add toppings and finish on the grill whenever you crave summer flavors!

Reheating

To reheat, arrange slices on a baking sheet and pop them in a 350ºF oven for 5–8 minutes—just until warmed through. The cheese will become soft again, and the crust will crisp up nicely. Add a sprinkle of fresh basil to revive those gorgeous green notes before serving.
