Ingredients

• 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.

3. Lightly brush both sides of the flatbreads with olive oil.

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.
