Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe but firm nectarines
- 6 thin slices prosciutto (preferably prosciutto di Parma)
- 1 large flatbread (10–12 inches; naan or pita works well)
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Wash and halve the nectarines, removing the pits. Slice each half into 3-4 wedges about ½ inch thick. Set aside.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush grill grates or pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill nectarine wedges cut side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks form and they soften slightly. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes. Remove.
- Brush one side of the flatbread with olive oil. Place oil-side down on the grill and warm for about 2 minutes until crispy with faint grill marks. Remove and place grilled side up on a cutting board.
- Layer sliced mozzarella evenly over the flatbread. Arrange warm grilled nectarines on top, then drape prosciutto slices over the fruit.
- Scatter torn basil leaves over the flatbread. Season lightly with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled flatbread for a sweet tang (optional).
- Cut into wedges and serve immediately while cheese is melty and flavors are fresh.
Notes
Use firm, ripe nectarines to prevent mushiness on the grill. Brush grill grates or fruit with olive oil to prevent sticking. For more melted cheese, place assembled flatbread back on grill for 1-2 minutes over low heat. Balsamic glaze adds a sweet tang and glossy finish. Gluten-free flatbread can be used for gluten sensitivities. Vegan adaptations include dairy-free cheese and marinated grilled mushrooms or smoked tempeh instead of prosciutto.
