Ingredients

Scale

For the Flatbread

  • 2 naan or flatbread rounds
  • 6 oz Brie cheese, sliced
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ⅓ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Hot Honey Drizzle

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Pinch sea salt

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote easy cleanup.
  2. Brush Flatbreads with Olive Oil: Place the naan or flatbread rounds on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush the top surfaces with olive oil to help them crisp up and add flavor.
  3. Arrange Brie: Evenly distribute sliced Brie cheese over each flatbread, ensuring good coverage for creamy meltiness.
  4. Add Cranberries and Walnuts: Sprinkle the dried cranberries and roughly chopped walnuts uniformly across the top of the Brie for bursts of sweetness and crunchy texture.
  5. Bake Flatbreads: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the Brie cheese has melted and the edges of the flatbreads become golden and crisp.
  6. Prepare Hot Honey Drizzle: While the flatbreads bake, gently warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in red chili flakes and add a pinch of sea salt. Remove from heat once combined and aromatic.
  7. Drizzle and Garnish: Remove the baked flatbreads from the oven and immediately drizzle the warm hot honey mixture evenly over each one. Optionally, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top for a fragrant finish.
  8. Serve Warm: Slice the flatbreads and serve them warm to enjoy the perfect balance of creamy, sweet, crunchy, and spicy flavors.

Notes

  • Adjust chili flakes in the hot honey drizzle according to your heat preference.
  • If naan is unavailable, use any other mild flatbread as a substitute.
  • For a nuttier taste, toast the walnuts lightly before chopping.
  • Serve immediately after drizzling honey to enjoy the best texture.
  • Fresh thyme is optional but adds a lovely herbal note.
