This Pear, Brie, and Cranberry Flatbread with Thyme is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors, perfect as an elegant appetizer or a light meal. The crisp flatbread is topped with ripe pear slices, creamy brie, tart cranberry sauce, and fragrant fresh thyme, then baked to melty perfection with an optional drizzle of honey for added sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Flatbread

  • 1 large flatbread or naan
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Toppings

  • 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz brie, sliced or cubed
  • ¼ cup cranberry sauce or dried cranberries
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Optional: drizzle of honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare the Flatbread: Lightly brush the flatbread with olive oil on both sides to help it crisp up during baking. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Add Toppings: Evenly arrange the thin slices of ripe pear over the flatbread. Distribute the brie slices or cubes on top, followed by dollops or scattered pieces of cranberry sauce or dried cranberries. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves evenly over all the toppings to infuse aromatic flavor.
  4. Bake: Place the flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the brie has melted and the edges of the flatbread turn crisp and golden brown.
  5. Finish & Serve: Remove from the oven and optionally drizzle lightly with honey for a touch of natural sweetness. Slice into wedges and serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute naan with any other thin flatbread if desired.
  • Use fresh or dried cranberries depending on availability; adjust quantity to taste.
  • For a vegan option, substitute brie with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Adjust baking time according to your oven to prevent burning.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
