Overview
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 2 flatbreads
Ingredients
- 2 Summeripe Yellow Nectarines, pitted and thinly sliced (no need to peel)
- 3 oz thinly sliced prosciutto (8–10 slices), cut into strips
- 1/3 cup dark balsamic vinegar (or 2 Tbsp store-bought balsamic glaze)
- 4 Tbsp spreadable goat cheese (softened)
- 2 handfuls fresh basil leaves, torn
- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (8.8 oz) package flatbread (2 per package)
- Flaky sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Make the balsamic reduction: In a small saucepan, simmer balsamic vinegar over low heat until reduced to about 2 Tbsp (20–25 minutes). Stir occasionally and keep a close eye to prevent burning. Set aside.
- Prepare the flatbread: Preheat oven to 450°F. In a skillet, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil and lightly brown both sides of each flatbread. Place on a baking sheet.
- Assemble: Spread goat cheese evenly over each flatbread. Top with torn basil, prosciutto strips, and nectarine slices. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Bake: Bake flatbreads for 8–10 minutes, until edges are golden brown and toppings are warmed.
- Finish & serve: Drizzle with balsamic reduction (or glaze) and a touch of olive oil. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Notes & Tips
- Grill instead of bake: Heat grill to medium-high. Lightly char flatbreads on both sides before topping. Grill with toppings for 10–12 minutes until crisp.
- Cheese swap: Burrata or ricotta also pair beautifully with nectarines if you prefer a creamier bite.
- Make ahead: Balsamic reduction can be made up to a week in advance and stored in an airtight container.
