Print Recipe

A light and flavorful flatbread featuring honey-roasted nectarines, creamy goat cheese, and fresh arugula on a crispy flatbread base. Perfect for summer meals with a balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought or homemade flatbread (about 10–12 inches / 25–30 cm)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
  • 2 large ripe nectarines, sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 4 ounces (115g) goat cheese, crumbled or sliced
  • 1 cup fresh arugula (washed and dried)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Flaky sea salt (for finishing)
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts
  • Optional: drizzle of balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced nectarines with honey, lemon juice, and optional cinnamon until lightly coated. Set aside for about 5 minutes.
  3. Place the flatbread on a baking sheet or pizza peel. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil.
  4. Arrange the honey-coated nectarine slices evenly over the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Scatter crumbled or sliced goat cheese generously over the nectarines.
  6. Bake the flatbread in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp and the cheese is slightly melted and bubbling.
  7. Remove from the oven and immediately scatter fresh arugula over the top to gently wilt.
  8. Season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Optionally drizzle more honey or balsamic glaze.
  9. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

Do not overload the flatbread to keep crust crisp. Use ripe but firm nectarines to avoid sogginess. Toss nectarines with honey before roasting for caramelization. Add arugula after baking to keep it fresh and peppery. Substitute goat cheese with feta or ricotta if desired. Use gluten-free flatbread for gluten-free option. Reheat leftovers in oven to maintain crispiness.
