  • Total Time: 28 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Cheese Mixture

  • 8 oz goat cheese, softened
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 TBSP honey (plus extra for drizzling)

Fruit Topping

  • ½ pound fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 large ripe peach, pitted and diced
  • 1-2 TBSP fresh chopped or sliced basil
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 1 TBSP granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp white wine vinegar
  • ⅛ tsp fine sea salt

Flatbread

  • 2 naan flatbreads
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • Optional: cinnamon sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Soften Cheeses: Allow the goat cheese and cream cheese to soften slightly to room temperature for easier blending.
  2. Prepare Fruit Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, sugar, white wine vinegar, and sea salt. Bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce Glaze: Cook the mixture for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glaze. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  4. Prepare Fruit Salsa: While glaze cools, hull and chop strawberries, pit and dice the peach. Combine the fruit with fresh basil in a bowl. Once the glaze has cooled slightly, pour it over the fruit and toss gently to coat.
  5. Whip Goat Cheese: Using a food processor, blend goat cheese, cream cheese, and 1 tablespoon honey until creamy and smooth. Scrape down sides as needed during blending.
  6. Preheat Oven & Prepare Flatbreads: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Place naan flatbreads on a baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil. Optionally, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for added flavor.
  7. Bake Flatbreads: Bake naan for 6-8 minutes until the edges turn golden and crispy. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
  8. Assemble Flatbreads: Spread a generous layer of whipped goat cheese over each flatbread. Top with the strawberry peach salsa.
  9. Final Touch: Drizzle a little extra honey over the flatbreads if desired. Slice and serve immediately while warm and fresh.
  10. Advance Preparation: Both the whipped goat cheese and the fruit topping can be prepared a day ahead, stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Bring them back to room temperature before assembling and serving on toasted flatbreads.

Notes

  • Bring the cheeses and fruit topping to room temperature before serving for best flavor and texture.
  • Optional cinnamon sugar on the crust adds a warm sweetness complementing the fruit.
  • Adjust the amount of basil in the fruit salsa to your preference for herbaceous brightness.
  • Use fresh ripe peaches and strawberries for peak flavor and sweetness.
  • This flatbread is best served immediately after assembly to keep the crust crispy.
