A Delightful Combination Of Sweet, Smoky Grilled Peaches, Creamy Cheese, And A Drizzle Of Spicy Hot Honey – The Perfect Summer Flatbread!
This Grilled Peach Flatbread with Hot Honey is the perfect summer dish! I decided to make it because I wanted to combine the sweetness of ripe peaches with the savory elements of flatbread and cheese, and the spicy kick from hot honey takes it over the top.
Grilling the peaches brings out their natural sweetness and adds a smoky flavor, while the hot honey gives a sweet and spicy contrast that balances everything perfectly. My family loves it because it’s simple to make, full of flavor, and perfect for a light meal, appetizer, or even a fun side dish for a summer BBQ. The best part? It’s a beautiful dish that looks as good as it tastes!
Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe
Q: Can I use a different type of cheese?
A: Yes! While I recommend goat cheese or ricotta for a creamy texture, you can also use burrata, feta, or mozzarella for a different flavor. Goat cheese adds a tangy richness that pairs well with the sweetness of the peaches.
Q: Can I use canned or frozen peaches?
A: Fresh peaches will give the best flavor and texture, but if peaches are out of season, you can use canned or frozen peaches. Just be sure to drain them well and pat them dry before grilling.
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: While the flatbread is best served fresh, you can prepare the toppings ahead of time. Grill the peaches and assemble the flatbread when you’re ready to serve, or make individual flatbreads and store them in the fridge before grilling.
Q: How spicy is the hot honey?
A: The heat in the hot honey depends on the amount of chili flakes or hot sauce you use. For a mild heat, use less, and for extra spice, increase the chili flakes or hot sauce.
Q: Can I make the flatbread gluten-free?
A: Yes! You can substitute the regular flatbread or pizza dough with a gluten-free version, or use gluten-free naan if you want an easy base.
What You Need to Make Grilled Peach Flatbread with Hot Honey
For the Flatbread:
- 2 flatbreads or pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for added depth of flavor)
- 1/2 cup goat cheese (or ricotta, feta, or mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Hot Honey:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (or more for extra heat)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for added spice)
How to Make Grilled Peach Flatbread with Hot Honey
1. Prepare the hot honey:
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed and well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Grill the peaches:
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat. Brush the peach slices with olive oil and balsamic vinegar (if using). Grill the peaches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they have nice grill marks and are slightly softened. Remove from the grill and set aside.
3. Prepare the flatbreads:
Brush the flatbreads with a light layer of olive oil. Grill the flatbreads on the same grill or grill pan for about 2 minutes per side, until they are warm and have a slightly crispy texture. You can also use a hot oven if you prefer – preheat to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 5-7 minutes.
4. Assemble the flatbread:
Once the flatbreads are grilled, spread a layer of goat cheese (or your preferred cheese) on top. Arrange the grilled peach slices evenly over the flatbreads. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Drizzle with hot honey:
Drizzle the warm hot honey over the grilled peach flatbread, making sure to get a bit of the spicy syrup on each bite. If you prefer more heat, you can drizzle extra hot sauce or add more chili flakes.
6. Garnish and serve:
Top the flatbread with fresh basil leaves, and slice it into pieces. Serve immediately, and enjoy the sweet, spicy, and savory flavors!
Tips
- For a smoky flavor: Try grilling the flatbread on a charcoal grill for an extra smoky taste that pairs perfectly with the grilled peaches.
- For extra crunch: Add some toasted pine nuts or walnuts on top of the flatbread for added texture.
- Add protein: For a more substantial meal, you can add grilled chicken or prosciutto on top before drizzling with hot honey.
