Description
A quick and elegant flatbread topped with creamy Brie, thinly sliced pear and apple, sweet-tart cranberry jelly, and a salty feta crumble. Perfect as an appetizer or light meal with bold, balanced flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 large flatbread or naan (10–12 inches / 25–30 cm)
- 1/2 medium pear, thinly sliced (70–90 g)
- 1/2 medium apple, thinly sliced (75–100 g)
- 5 oz (140 g) Brie cheese, sliced
- 2 to 3 tablespoons cranberry jelly (30–45 g)
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta (30–35 g)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary, finely chopped (optional, about 1 g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). If desired, preheat a baking sheet inside for a crispier base.
- Place flatbread on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 4–5 minutes to crisp slightly.
- Remove from oven and arrange Brie slices evenly over the flatbread.
- Layer the pear and apple slices on top of the Brie.
- Add small dollops of cranberry jelly spaced across the surface.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta and herbs (if using) on top.
- Return to oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, until Brie is melted and fruit is just tender.
- Let rest for 1–2 minutes, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use sweet-tart apples and ripe but firm pears for best texture.
- Pre-baking the flatbread prevents sogginess.
- Thin fruit slices ensure quick softening without overbaking the cheese.
- Try a drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze after baking for extra flavor.
- Customize with nuts, herbs, or alternate jams as desired.
