Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4–1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 flatbreads or naan
- 6 oz brie cheese, sliced
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1–2 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
Instructions
- Combine honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Warm gently over low heat for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Arrange brie slices evenly across flatbreads, then sprinkle with cranberries and toasted walnuts.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until brie is melted and flatbreads are crisp and golden. Drizzle generously with hot honey, garnish with fresh thyme leaves, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
Substitute dried cranberries with dates, apricots, or tart cherries, and walnuts with your preferred nuts. Use store-bought hot honey to save time. For extra crispiness, place flatbreads directly on the oven rack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this flatbread ahead of time?
We recommend assembling and baking just before serving for the best texture. You can prep the toppings in advance, but the Crispy Flatbread with Brie, Cranberries & Toasted Walnuts with a Hot Honey Drizzle is best fresh from the oven when the flatbread is crisp and the brie is perfectly melted.
What can I use instead of hot honey?
You can make a quick substitute by warming regular honey with a pinch of red pepper flakes. Alternatively, a balsamic glaze offers a different sweet-tangy flavor that also pairs beautifully with the brie and cranberries in this recipe.
How do I prevent the flatbread from getting soggy?
Ensure your flatbread base is fully pre-baked until crisp before adding toppings. Also, pat the cranberries dry if using fresh or thawed, and avoid overloading the cheese. A properly baked base is key to a deliciously crispy flatbread.
