Peach & Basil Flatbread – A quick & easy summer dinner. #SundaySupper

This easy peach & basil flatbread is perfect for those ripe peaches in season as well as herbs from the garden. A quick and tasty summer meal.

I gotta be honest, I don’t eat a lot of fruit. If I want something sweet, I’ll head for the dark chocolate. But there is something about a plump, ripe peach in the summer time that I enjoy so much. So when this week’s Sunday Supper theme was Peaches I wasn’t sure what to make because to be honest, I usually eat them as is.

But I had a big bunch of basil and some fresh mozzarella from a caprese recipe gone wrong and decided to do this easy peach & basil flatbread.  It was so good that I think it will become a summer staple for me and my hubby. I couldn’t sell Max on the idea but who knows maybe next summer he’ll appreciate it.

I really like making pizzas and flatbreads from naan bread. Awhile back I made an asiago, sausage and peppers flatbread that was really great. I almost always have some naan on hand from Aldi or Costco and I keep it in the freezer. All you need to do is brush some olive oil on them, place your toppings and bake for roughly 20 minutes and you have a quick meal for your family.

Easy Peach & Basil Flatbread Recipe

As you can see above, I used fresh mozzarella and sliced peaches on top. I had brushed the naan first with olive oil and crushed garlic. It will bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese browns and bubbles. Sprinkle some chopped, fresh basil on top and it’s ready to eat.

balsamic reduction Recipe

I also added a balsamic reduction at the end. It’s not necessary but it I think it made this dish even better. This is really easy to do. Just add some balsamic vinegar to a pan and bring to a boil. Then turn it down to a simmer until the quantity has reduced about half in size. You’ll know it’s ready when it becomes thicker. If you get a chance, add this extra step because the vinegar really complements the rest of the ingredients.

So that’s my entry this week. I’m so glad I found a new flatbread recipe to enjoy with those delicious summer peaches. Thank you Sue Lau of A Palatable Pastime for hosting this week and please check out my friends delicious peach recipes by scrolling down. Enjoy!
