Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 1 piece flatbread (store-bought or homemade)
Toppings
- 200 grams Brie cheese (can be swapped for Camembert)
- 100 grams cranberries (dried cranberries can be replaced with dates or apricots)
- 50 grams toasted walnuts (substitute with pecans or almonds if desired)
Drizzle
- 2 tablespoons hot honey (honey mixed with chili flakes for flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the flatbread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the flatbread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Add the Brie: Slice the Brie into thin pieces and evenly distribute over the flatbread, ensuring good coverage but leaving a small border around the edges.
- Top with cranberries and walnuts: Scatter the cranberries evenly over the Brie, followed by the toasted walnuts to add a crunchy texture.
- Bake the flatbread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the Brie is melted and bubbly and the flatbread edges are crisp.
- Drizzle with hot honey: Remove the flatbread from the oven and immediately drizzle the hot honey over the top, allowing the spicy sweetness to infuse every bite.
- Slice and serve: Let the flatbread cool for a couple of minutes, then cut into 4 equal slices and serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flatbread.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes in the hot honey according to desired heat level.
- For a nut-free version, omit walnuts and substitute with sunflower seeds or extra dried fruit.
- The flatbread can be customized with other fruits like apricots or dates as replacements for cranberries.
- Leftover flatbread is best reheated briefly in the oven to maintain crispiness.
