Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer flatbread featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy honey-sweetened ricotta, and fresh basil on a crispy flatbread base. Perfect for light meals or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought or homemade flatbread (8–10 inches in diameter)
  • 2 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mild-flavored honey (clover or wildflower)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly torn or chiffonade-cut
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Zest of half a lemon (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Halve and pit the peaches. Brush the cut sides with olive oil to prevent sticking and help caramelize. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, honey, and lemon zest (if using). Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Season lightly with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  4. Place peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften but hold shape. Flip and grill skin side for 1-2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  5. Brush both sides of the flatbread with olive oil. Place on the grill and toast for 1-2 minutes per side until crisp and warm with grill marks.
  6. Spread the honey ricotta evenly over the warm flatbread. Slice the grilled peaches and arrange on top.
  7. Scatter fresh basil leaves over the flatbread. Season with cracked black pepper and a sprinkle of sea salt to taste.
  8. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best grilling results. If peaches are underripe, sprinkle a little sugar before grilling. Avoid overcrowding the grill to ensure good sear. Honey ricotta can be made ahead and refrigerated. For gluten-free, use almond flour flatbread. Vegan version possible by substituting ricotta with cashew cream and honey with agave syrup.
