Crispy Flatbread with Brie, Cranberries & Toasted Walnuts with Hot Honey Drizzle
Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads (store-bought naan, pita, or homemade flatbread)
- 6 oz (170 g) Brie cheese, sliced
- ½ cup dried cranberries (or fresh cranberries, halved)
- ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp butter (for toasting nuts)
- 2 tbsp hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Olive oil, for brushing
Instructions
1. Prepare the Walnuts
- In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add walnuts and toast for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and golden.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Assemble the Flatbreads
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Place flatbreads on the sheet and lightly brush with olive oil.
- Layer slices of Brie evenly across the flatbread.
- Sprinkle over cranberries and toasted walnuts.
3. Bake
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and flatbread edges are crispy.
4. Finish with Hot Honey
- Drizzle hot honey generously over the warm flatbreads.
- Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary.
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
Tips & Variations
- Make it extra fancy → add prosciutto or caramelized onions before baking.
- For a tangy twist → use goat cheese instead of Brie.
- Homemade Hot Honey → Warm ¼ cup honey with ½–1 tsp chili flakes for 2–3 minutes, then cool before drizzling.
