Balsamic Peach Flatbread are a simple and fast appetizer, a great side to a soup or a salad.

The peaches are placed on top of my favorite vegan cream cheese mixed with a little citrus and sweetener, smeared on a toasted flatbread.

And then topped with just a splash of balsamic vinegar.

With this recipe, I added peaches, but this can be substituted with many other fruits or even berries.

I personally didn’t grill or saute the peaches, they were so sweet, I thought it would destroy the flavor.

Even though peaches are no longer in season, there are many different fruits to try such as pears, apples, grapes, apricots, and even pineapple.

These fruits can be sauteed or grilled, then added to the flatbread.

Berries are another alternative to peaches, try blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or even strawberries.

Fresh berries are the best way to go, but the berries can also be cooked down on the stove as a sauce that can be used as a topping for the flatbread.

Ingredients for the flatbread

Flatbread – Use your favorite flatbread for this recipe. Or if you have the time, make my Gluten Free Flatbread.
Vegan Cream Cheese – Use your favorite vegan cream cheese or make my Vegan Cream Cheese Spread.
Citrus Juice – I used lemon juice in the cream cheese. You can substitute with lime juice.
Maple Syrup – I used pure maple syrup as a sweetener in the cream cheese.
Fruit – I used fresh peaches on my flatbreads. Any fruit or berry can be used in this recipe. Some suggestions are pears, grapes, apricots, apples, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries.
Balsamic Vinegar – Use your favorite balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze.

Note: If making my Vegan Cream Cheese Spread there is no need to add more citrus juice or maple syrup.

Grilling or Sauteed

Fruit – Any fruit of your choice.
Oil – I like to use olive or avocado oil. Use your favorite oil.

Ingredients for a Berry Sauce

Berries – Any berry of your choice.
Pure Maple Syrup – The maple syrup is optional.
Water – The water is a replacement for the maple syrup and might be needed to cook down the berries for the sauce.

How to make the Peach Flat Bread

Slice the peaches in half and remove the pit, then continue to slice the peach halves into slices, set aside.

Next scoop the vegan cream cheese into a small mixing bowl, mix in the citrus juice, and maple syrup.

Pull out the flatbread and cut in half if needed.

Place the flatbread into the toaster or toaster oven until slightly toasted.

Remove the flatbread from the toaster and smear with the vegan cream cheese mixture.

Place the thinly sliced peaches on top of the vegan cream cheese.

Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the peaches and serve.

Grilling or Sauteed Fruits

Grilling

Cut the fruit in half and remove seeds or pits.
Brush the fruit with oil.
Place the fruit onto the grill and grill for 3 to 4 minutes (or until lightly charred) on each side, covered over medium heat.
Once done, remove from the grill and slice.
Place the grilled fruit on to the flatbread topped with the vegan cream cheese.
Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Sauteed

Cut the fruit in half to remove seeds or pits.
Continue to slice the fruit into thin slices.
In a medium sized skillet, add a little oil to the pan, then add the sliced fruit.
Saute for a couple minutes, then flip, and continue to saute for a couple more minutes.
Once the fruit is done to your liking, remove and place onto the flatbread topped with vegan cream cheese.
Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Using Berries

Clean and dry the berries of choice, add to the top of the vegan cream cheese.
If cooking the berries into a sauce, add to a small sauce pan with just a little maple syrup or water.
Cook at a medium high heat for about 10 to 15 minutes or until your desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from the heat and scoop onto the flatbread topped with vegan cream cheese.
Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
