Blueberry, Brie & Thyme Flatbread with Honey

This elegant yet easy flatbread is the perfect balance of creamy, sweet, savory, and herbal notes. The creamy brie melts into a luscious base, the blueberries burst with juicy sweetness, the thyme adds freshness, and the final drizzle of honey ties everything together with a golden, glossy finish.

It’s a 20-minute recipe that works beautifully as an appetizer, snack, light lunch, or wine pairing dish for gatherings.

✨ Ingredients (for 4 servings)

• 2 flatbreads or naan (store-bought or homemade, about 20 cm each)

• 150 g (1 cup) fresh blueberries (firm, ripe ones work best)

• 150 g (5 oz) brie cheese, sliced into thin wedges

• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil (extra virgin recommended)

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

• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey (mild, floral honey such as acacia or wildflower)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1 – Prep the flatbreads

• Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

• Place the flatbreads (or naan) on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

• Brush them lightly with olive oil to crisp up the edges and give them a golden finish.

Step 2 – Layer the toppings

• Evenly arrange the brie slices across each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.

• Scatter the fresh blueberries on top. (They’ll soften and release juices as they bake.)

• Sprinkle over the fresh thyme leaves, a pinch of salt, and a crack of black pepper.

Step 3 – Bake

• Transfer to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, until the brie melts and turns bubbly and the blueberries begin to burst slightly.

• Keep an eye on the edges of the bread—they should turn lightly golden and crisp.

Step 4 – Finish & serve

• Remove from the oven and let cool for 1–2 minutes.

• Drizzle generously with honey while still warm so it soaks slightly into the melted cheese.

• Slice into wedges and serve immediately.

Serving Ideas

• As an appetizer: Cut into small squares for easy finger food.

• With wine: Pair with a chilled Sauvignon Blanc, Prosecco, or a light rosé.

• As a brunch or light lunch: Serve alongside a green salad with vinaigrette.

Recipe Tips

• Cheese options: If you don’t have brie, try camembert, goat cheese, or even creamy gorgonzola for a sharper flavor.

• Crispier base: For an extra crisp flatbread, pre-bake it for 2–3 minutes before adding toppings.

• Sweet touch: Try using fig jam or apricot preserves as a thin base layer before adding cheese.

• Make it heartier: Add slices of prosciutto, caramelized onions, or arugula after baking.

Variations

1. Prosciutto & Arugula Flatbread

   • Add thin slices of prosciutto before baking.

   • After baking, top with a handful of fresh arugula and drizzle with honey.

2. Caramelized Onion & Blueberry Flatbread

   • Sauté onions in butter until golden and sweet.

   • Spread over flatbread, then add brie and blueberries.

3. Nutty Crunch Flatbread

   • Sprinkle with chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds before baking for texture.

4. Savory-Sweet Goat Cheese Swap

   • Replace brie with soft goat cheese for a tangier profile.
