Ingredients
Base
- 2 flatbreads or naan
Cheese
- 115 grams brie cheese, sliced
Toppings
- 30 grams dried cranberries
- 30 grams sliced almonds, toasted
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Finishing
- 15 milliliters olive oil
- 15 milliliters honey
- Pinch of sea salt
- Pinch of cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (about 400°F) and prepare a baking sheet by placing the flatbreads evenly spaced on it.
- Brush with olive oil: Lightly coat each flatbread’s surface with olive oil to ensure even crisping and to enhance flavor during baking.
- Add toppings: Distribute the sliced brie cheese evenly across the flatbreads. Then sprinkle dried cranberries, toasted almonds, and if desired, fresh thyme leaves for an herbaceous note.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the brie melts fully and flatbread edges turn a golden crisp.
- Finish and serve: Remove from the oven, drizzle with honey for sweetness, and season lightly with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature for a perfect appetizer experience.
Notes
- Use naan or any thin flatbread for the best crispiness.
- To toast almonds, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat and stir frequently until golden and fragrant.
- Fresh thyme is optional but adds a lovely herbal aroma.
- Serve immediately for optimal texture, though leftovers can be reheated briefly to refresh the crisp.
- Adjust honey drizzle to taste for desired sweetness balance.
