Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)

2 cups fresh peaches, sliced (approximately 3 medium peaches)

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup crumbled goat cheese

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone for a crispier crust, place it in the oven to heat alongside.

    Prepare the Peach Topping: In a medium bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Ensure the peaches are evenly coated in the mixture to enhance their flavor.

      Assemble the Pizza: On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza crust to your preferred thickness. Transfer the crust to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy maneuvering.

        Spread the Ricotta: Use a spatula to spread the ricotta cheese evenly across the surface of the pizza crust, leaving a small ½-inch border around the edges for a nice crust.

          Add the Cheese and Peaches: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese atop the ricotta layer. Then, beautifully arrange the seasoned peach slices over the mozzarella. Finally, scatter crumbled goat cheese over the peaches for an added tangy flavor.

            Drizzle with Honey: To create a harmonious balance of flavors, lightly drizzle honey over the entire pizza—this will provide a delightful sweetness that complements the peaches and cheeses.

              Bake the Pizza: Carefully slide the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or into the oven if using a baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

                Garnish and Serve: After baking, let the pizza cool for a few minutes. To elevate your dish, garnish with fresh basil leaves. Slice into wedges and savor this delicious summer-inspired pizza!
