Goat Cheese Pizza With Peaches

Why you'll love this recipe

20-minute recipe - This recipe takes 20 minutes from start to finish, including prep and cooking time.
Perfect for a pizza party - Try this recipe for your next pizza Friday. It will make a refreshing change from the usual Margherita, Meat, or Hawaiian pizzas that people are used to.

Ingredient notes

Balsamic Glaze - This glaze takes barely 5 minutes to prepare and can be made ahead of time and stored. I usually make a small batch and store it to use as needed.
Chili Oil - A pantry staple in my house, I always have this on hand. Try my homemade recipe or use a supermarket brand if you prefer.
Goat Cheese - This recipe works best with honey and truffle-flavored goat cheese, but plain tangy goat cheese or another flavor are also options.
Mini Naan - I like to use mini naan for this recipe, so I don't have to cut my pizza into slices, and everyone has their own pizza. Feel free to use regular-size naan if you prefer.

Please see the recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list of ingredients with measurements plus recipe instructions.

Substitutions & variations

Use a different base - You can use a ready-made flatbread or French bread as the pizza base. Bake the base from scratch using homemade pizza dough or buy pre-made dough from the grocery store. This gluten-free pizza crust recipe is also a great option if your diet requires it.
Try a different cheese - Next time, use mozzarella cheese, burrata, or one of these vegan cheese brands as an alternative.
Add some toppings - Try the pizza with different fresh herbs, spinach, red onion, caramelized onions, arugula, or meat as added toppings to change the flavor slightly.
Experiment with a different oil - Take a few tablespoons of olive oil and infuse them with minced garlic or herbs instead of the chilies for a different flavored oil. If you want to save time, use a ready-made infused olive oil from Vignolifood.

Step 3 - Turn the stove on medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 4 - Continue to cook the mixture until it has reduced and is thick enough to coat your spoon. Then set your balsamic drizzle aside and cool to room temperature.

Step 5 - Place the mini naans on a cookie sheet and generously brush them with chili oil. This will serve as the pizza sauce in this recipe.

Step 6 - Dab the peach slices with a paper towel to dry them, and then top each naan with the thinly sliced peaches.

Step 7 - Chop about half a cup basil and scatter over the fresh peaches.

Step 8 - As a final step, crumble the creamy goat cheese on top and bake the mini pizzas in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes.

Step 9 - Remove the pizzas, drizzle with the balsamic reduction, and enjoy.

Expert Tips

Use firm peaches - If the sliced peaches are too soft, they make the pizza soggy.
Slice the peaches very thin - Thinly sliced peaches stay in place and make it easier to eat the pizza.
Pat your peaches dry- Pat the peaches dry before placing them on the naan to prevent a soggy base.
Add the cheese at the end - I always add my cheese right at the end. As it melts, it helps the other ingredients adhere to the base. This makes serving and eating the pizza easier.

Recipe FAQS

How do I store my leftovers?

Wrap any leftover pizza in foil and place it in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Store in the fridge for 2-4 days maximum. Freezing is not recommended, as the peaches will get soggy as they defrost.

How do I reheat the pizza?

Reheat the pizza in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or in an air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.

What can I serve as an accompaniment to the pizza?

Serve the pizza with a side of tomato rasam, easy chicken tikka boti, or some hariyali (green) chicken tikka at your next party.
