Blueberry, Brie & Thyme Flatbread with Honey

Description

This elegant yet simple flatbread is the perfect mix of sweet, savory, and aromatic flavors. Creamy melted brie pairs beautifully with the burst of juicy blueberries, while fresh thyme adds an earthy note. A drizzle of honey ties everything together, creating a gourmet-style appetizer, light lunch, or party snack in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 flatbreads or naan
• 150 g (1 cup) fresh blueberries
• 150 g (5 oz) brie cheese, sliced
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Prepare Flatbread Base: Place flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush each with olive oil.
3. Add Toppings: Layer brie slices evenly across the flatbreads. Scatter blueberries on top.
4. Season: Sprinkle thyme leaves, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
5. Bake: Place in the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the brie is melted and bubbling.
6. Finish: Remove from oven, drizzle with honey, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

• You can use goat cheese or camembert instead of brie for variation.
• Frozen blueberries work too—just thaw and pat dry first.
• For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans before baking.

Tips

• Use stone-baked or naan-style flatbread for the best texture.
• Don’t overload with cheese—brie melts richly, so less is more.
• Drizzle honey right before serving to keep its flavor bright.

• Makes 2 flatbreads
