A quick and easy summer recipe combining grilled nectarines, crispy prosciutto, and a crispy flatbread base for a sweet and savory treat perfect for casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1012 ounces flatbread dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 large ripe but firm nectarines
  • 68 thin slices prosciutto
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • 4 ounces ricotta or fresh mozzarella (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to about 400°F (200°C), approximately 10 minutes.
  2. Wash and halve the nectarines, removing the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil and set aside.
  3. Roll out the flatbread dough on a floured surface into a roughly 12-inch oval or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush both sides with olive oil.
  4. Place nectarines cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and fruit softens slightly. Flip and grill skin side for 1 more minute. Remove and cool.
  5. Grill the flatbread dough for 2-3 minutes per side until puffed and grill marks appear. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  6. Remove flatbread from grill and spread a thin layer of ricotta or fresh mozzarella over the warm surface.
  7. Slice grilled nectarines into wedges and scatter evenly over the cheese. Layer prosciutto slices on top.
  8. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and lemon zest over the flatbread. Drizzle with honey and a little more olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Optionally, place flatbread back on the grill for 1-2 minutes to melt cheese slightly and crisp prosciutto more.
  10. Slice into pieces and serve immediately warm.

Notes

Keep a close eye on the flatbread while grilling to prevent burning. Use indirect heat if flare-ups occur. Nectarines can be swapped with peaches or plums. For dairy-free, omit cheese or use plant-based alternatives. Adding arugula after grilling adds a nice peppery bite.
