Ingredients
  

2 large flatbreads or naan

2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced

4 oz goat cheese, crumbled

1 cup fresh arugula

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of heat

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

    Prepare the Flatbreads: Arrange the flatbreads or naan on a large baking sheet. Use a brush or the back of a spoon to lightly coat each flatbread with olive oil, then season them generously with salt and freshly cracked pepper.

      Layer with Goat Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly across the surface of the flatbreads. Aim for a good coverage while leaving a few small gaps where the peaches will go.

        Add Peaches: Take the thinly sliced peaches and artfully arrange them on top of the goat cheese. Overlap the slices slightly for an attractive presentation that showcases the beautiful colors.

          Season the Toppings: Garnish the peaches and goat cheese with fresh thyme leaves for an aromatic touch. If you like a bit of spice, sprinkle on a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to add some warmth.

            Bake: Once your toppings are arranged, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the flatbread edges are crispy and the goat cheese has turned a light golden color.

              Finish with Arugula: After baking, carefully remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool for about a minute. Top each flatbread generously with fresh arugula, which will add a peppery flavor and vibrant green color.

                Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: For the final touch, drizzle balsamic glaze over the flatbreads. This will introduce a delicious sweet-tanginess that perfectly complements the peaches and goat cheese.

                  Slice and Serve: Use a sharp pizza cutter or knife to slice the flatbreads into wedges. Serve them warm as a delectable appetizer or light meal that everyone will love.
