Print Recipe

A quick and easy grilled flatbread pizza topped with sweet grilled nectarines, peppery arugula, and creamy gorgonzola cheese, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 ripe nectarines, halved and pitted
  • 4 ounces (115g) gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 2 cups fresh arugula leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pre-made flatbreads or naan (e.g., Stonefire Naan)
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts
  • Optional: thin slices of prosciutto

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to about 400°F (200°C). If using charcoal, wait until the coals are covered with white ash.
  2. Wash and halve 2-3 ripe nectarines, removing the pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Place nectarines cut side down on the grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and they start to soften. Flip and cook skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Brush both sides of the flatbreads lightly with olive oil to encourage browning and prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the flatbreads for 2-3 minutes per side until crisp and slightly charred. Remove and place on a flat surface.
  6. Crumble about 2 ounces (57g) of gorgonzola evenly over each warm flatbread to allow the cheese to soften slightly.
  7. Slice grilled nectarines into thin wedges and arrange on top of the cheese.
  8. In a bowl, toss 2 cups fresh arugula with 1 teaspoon lemon juice, a pinch of salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  9. Scatter the dressed arugula over the flatbread and drizzle with honey.
  10. Optionally, add toasted pine nuts or a few slices of prosciutto for extra texture and flavor.
  11. Serve immediately, cut into slices and enjoy warm.

Notes

Keep grill temperature medium-high to avoid soggy or burnt flatbread. Brush flatbread and nectarines with olive oil to prevent sticking. Use ripe but firm nectarines to avoid mushiness. Add arugula after grilling to keep it fresh and vibrant. If making multiple pizzas, keep assembled ones warm but serve promptly to maintain crispness. Leftovers can be reheated in a hot oven or toaster oven to retain crispness; avoid microwaving.
