Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made flatbread crust (about 10–12 inches)
- 4 ounces brie cheese, thinly sliced, rind left on
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the flatbread crust directly on the oven rack for maximum crispiness.
- Toast the almonds: Spread the slivered almonds on a small, dry skillet. Toast over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and immediately drizzle with honey and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat. Set aside.
- Prepare the flatbread: Brush the surface of the flatbread crust lightly with olive oil. This helps achieve a crispy baked bread base.
- Arrange the brie slices evenly over the flatbread. Scatter the dried cranberries over the cheese.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the crust edges are golden brown and the brie is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the flatbread from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the honey-toasted almonds and chopped rosemary (if using) over the top.
- Slice into pieces and serve warm as a quick party bread idea or appetizer flatbread with cheese.
Notes
- For an extra crispy flatbread base, you can pre-bake the crust plain for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- If you do not have pre-made flatbread, use thin pizza dough rolled out very thin.
- This recipe works well as a holiday cranberry appetizer.
