Description
This Crispy Flatbread with Brie, Cranberries & Toasted Almonds is a delightful blend of flavors for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 flatbreads or naan
- 4 oz brie cheese, sliced
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 1 tbsp honey
- Pinch of sea salt
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for allowing the flatbreads to get a perfectly crispy texture without overcooking the toppings. Arrange your flatbreads on a baking sheet, ensuring there’s enough space around each one for even cooking.
- With a touch of olive oil, delicately brush each flatbread to ensure that they turn out crispy and golden. Arrange the brie slices generously across the surface, as the creamy cheese will form the base layer of flavor. Subsequently, sprinkle the dried cranberries on top of the brie. Scatter the toasted almonds over the cranberries. If you’re using thyme, distribute the leaves evenly to impart a fragrant touch.
- Place the assembled flatbreads into the preheated oven. Allow them to bake for about 8–10 minutes. Watch as the brie melts beautifully and the flatbreads’ edges turn a satisfying crisp. Once the cheese is melted thoroughly and edges have reached desired crispness, remove them from the oven.
- With your flatbreads now out of the oven, proceed to drizzle each one with a tablespoon of honey, adding a welcome sweetness. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt, enhancing the flavors, and add cracked black pepper to balance the sweetness and creaminess of the dish.
- Cut the flatbreads into slices for easy serving and enjoy them while warm or allow to cool to room temperature for a more mellow flavor experience.
Notes
Ensure the brie is at room temperature before slicing for smoother cuts and even melting.
