Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Base

  • 2 flatbreads or naan
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 4 oz (115g) brie cheese, sliced
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tbsp walnuts, roughly chopped

Maple Chili Drizzle

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Flatbreads: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the flatbreads or naan on a baking sheet and lightly brush them evenly with olive oil to ensure crispiness during baking.
  2. Add Toppings: Arrange the sliced brie cheese evenly over each flatbread. Then scatter the dried cranberries and roughly chopped walnuts on top. Season lightly with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  3. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the brie is melted and bubbly and the edges of the flatbreads are golden brown and crisp.
  4. Prepare Maple Chili Drizzle: While the flatbreads bake, combine the maple syrup, chili flakes, and lemon juice or apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Mix well to blend the sweet and spicy flavors.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and immediately drizzle the maple chili mixture over the hot toppings. Slice into portions and serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute naan with any thin flatbread if preferred.
  • Adjust the chili flakes in the drizzle according to your spice tolerance for a milder or spicier finish.
  • Walnuts can be toasted lightly before adding for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the brie melted and the flatbread crisp.
  • For a vegan alternative, substitute brie with a plant-based cheese.
