A quick and easy grilled flatbread featuring caramelized peaches, creamy Gorgonzola, and fresh peppery arugula, perfect for a light and flavorful meal or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made flatbread or pizza crust (about 1012 inches)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for brushing the crust and grilling)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 3/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • 2 cups fresh arugula, washed and dried
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Optional: a handful of toasted walnuts or pecans
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or reduction

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high on the stove for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Slice each peach half into 3-4 wedges. Brush lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. Set aside.
  3. Brush both sides of the flatbread with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly across the top.
  4. Place the peach slices skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the peaches soften but don’t collapse.
  5. Lay the flatbread on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is crisp and has grill marks. Flip carefully to the other side.
  6. Quickly scatter the grilled peaches evenly over the grilled side of the flatbread. Sprinkle the crumbled Gorgonzola generously across.
  7. Close the grill lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese starts to soften and melt. Avoid overcooking.
  8. Remove the flatbread from the grill. Immediately scatter fresh arugula on top. Drizzle with honey and balsamic glaze. If using nuts, sprinkle them last.
  9. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into 6-8 pieces. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor contrast.

Notes

Keep a spray bottle of water handy to control grill flare-ups. Add arugula only after removing flatbread from grill to prevent wilting. For gluten-free, use cauliflower crust; for dairy-free, substitute Gorgonzola with vegan cheese and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep crust crisp.
