Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 pre-made flatbread or pizza crust
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Fruit & Cheese Toppings

  • 1 small pear, thinly sliced
  • 1 small apple, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons cranberry jelly
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

Herbs & Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the flatbread evenly.
  2. Prepare Flatbread Base: Lightly brush the pre-made flatbread or pizza crust with olive oil on all sides to aid in browning and flavor enhancement. Place the flatbread on a baking sheet for stability.
  3. Add Fruit Slices: Evenly arrange thin slices of pear and apple over the oiled flatbread, distributing them so each bite will have a balance of fruit.
  4. Layer Cheese: Place slices of Brie cheese evenly on top of the fruit to allow melting and blending of flavors during baking.
  5. Add Cranberry Jelly and Feta: Drizzle cranberry jelly over the flatbread to add a sweet and tangy glaze. Then sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top to introduce a salty contrast and creaminess.
  6. Season and Garnish: Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the entire flatbread and season lightly with salt and black pepper to accentuate all flavors.
  7. Bake: Place the flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses are melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve Warm: Once baked, remove from oven, slice into portions, and serve warm to fully enjoy the melted cheese and fresh fruit combination.

Notes

  • This flatbread is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between the warm melted cheese and fresh fruit.
  • You can substitute the pre-made flatbread with a homemade pizza crust for a more rustic feel.
  • For a nuttier flavor, consider adding a handful of toasted walnuts or pecans before baking.
  • Use fresh, in-season pears and apples for optimal sweetness and texture.
  • If cranberry jelly is not available, a dollop of cranberry sauce or preserves can be used as an alternative.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
