Tips
Peach Selection: Use ripe but firm peaches that won't fall apart on the grill. If peaches are very soft, reduce grilling time.
Indoor Alternative: If you don't have a grill, use a grill pan or simply slice peaches and use fresh - they'll still be delicious.
Ricotta Quality: Use high-quality whole milk ricotta for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
Assembly Speed: Have all components ready before assembling, as these are best served immediately while the flatbread is still warm.
Seasonal Variations: Try with grilled pears in autumn, or fresh figs when in season for equally delicious results.
