- Flatbread Base
- 2 large store-bought or homemade flatbreads (such as naan or pizza crust)
- Toppings
- 2 medium ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 6 oz (170 g) Brie cheese, sliced
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite variety)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1/4 cup arugula (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Garnish (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
- 2. Brush peach slices lightly with olive oil. Grill peaches for 1–2 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and peaches are slightly softened. Remove from grill and set aside.

- 4. Place flatbreads directly on the grill for 1–2 minutes per side to heat and crisp slightly. Remove from grill.
- 5. Spread BBQ sauce evenly over each flatbread.
- 6. Arrange grilled peach slices, Brie cheese, and red onion evenly over the flatbreads.
- 7. Return the assembled flatbreads to the grill. Close the lid and cook for 3–4 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the flatbread are crisp.
- 8. Remove from grill and let cool for 1 minute. Top with torn basil, arugula, a drizzle of honey, and pine nuts if desired. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
- 9. Slice and serve immediately.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Make sure to oil the peach slices before grilling to prevent sticking and help caramelize their natural sugars. Using a grill lid during the melting stage allows the cheese to soften perfectly without burning the flatbread. Keep an eye on the heat so the flatbread crisps without charring.
