Description
A quick and elegant flatbread featuring creamy Brie, sweet-tart cranberries, crunchy toasted walnuts, and a spicy-sweet hot honey drizzle. Perfect as an appetizer or light meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made flatbread or pizza dough (about 12 inches)
- 8 oz Brie cheese, sliced
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish (optional)
- Olive oil, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). If using pizza dough, roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the flatbread lightly with olive oil. Bake for 5 minutes to slightly crisp the base.
- In a small pan over medium heat, toast the walnuts until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
- In the same pan, combine honey and red pepper flakes. Warm over low heat for 1-2 minutes to infuse the honey. Set aside.
- Remove flatbread from oven. Arrange Brie slices evenly over the surface. Sprinkle with dried cranberries and toasted walnuts.
- Return to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden and crispy.
- Drizzle the hot honey over the flatbread. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes for more or less heat. For a variation, try adding arugula or sliced apples after baking.
