COOKBOOK #7: CORK BAR & RESTAURANT RECIPE:
Grilled Peach & Arugula Flatbread
INGREDIENTS:
2 prepared and grilled personal sized flatbreads4 fresh medium sized peaches, soft to the touch when purchasing2 cups of fresh arugula4 thin slices of prosciutto, crisped1 cup of fresh mozzarella, cut into stripsbalsamic vinaigretteWhile your flatbreads are grilling, peel and pit fresh peaches and cut in half. Brush with a bit of EVOO and sprinkle with a bit of salt & pepper. Grill on both sides until they develop grill marks. Remove peaches and flatbreads from grill and set aside. To crisp prosciutto, you can place aluminum foil on the hot grill and place slices on the foil, cover and grill until crisped, or you can bake in the oven until crisp. In a bowl, toss your arugula with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette.
To assemble: Cut your flatbreads into quarters. Brush the top with just a bit of EVOO. Top with strips of the fresh mozzarella. Cut your peaches into smaller pieces and layer on top of mozzarella. Crumble the prosciutto a bit and layer on top of the peaches and then top with the arugula.
