Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, sprinkle a little fresh thyme or rosemary over the toppings before baking.
• Substitute spinach with arugula for a peppery bite added after baking.
• If you prefer a milder honey option, use regular honey instead of hot honey.
• Use thinly sliced pears instead of apples for a subtle variation in sweetness.

Storage

Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to keep the crust crisp and the cheese melty. Avoid microwaving to preserve texture.

Scale 1x2x3x

Flatbreads

• 2 flatbreads
• Olive oil for brushing

Vegetables

• 1 apple, thinly sliced
• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
• Handful of fresh spinach

Cheese & Toppings

• 6–8 ounces Brie cheese, cubed
• Hot honey, for drizzling

Instructions

1. Caramelize the onions: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the thinly sliced onions with a splash of olive oil. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions become golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking the flatbreads.
3. Prepare the flatbreads: Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil on one side and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Assemble the flatbreads: Evenly distribute the cubed Brie cheese, thin apple slices, caramelized onions, and fresh spinach over the olive-oiled side of the flatbreads.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the flatbreads for 12-14 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the Brie is melted and bubbly.
6. Add finishing touch: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and drizzle them generously with hot honey before serving to add a sweet and spicy kick.

Notes

• Use a firm apple variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji for a nice crunch and sweetness.
• For a milder flavor, remove the rind from the Brie before cubing.
• Hot honey can be substituted with regular honey for less heat or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a tangy finish.
• Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
• These flatbreads can be prepared ahead by caramelizing onions and slicing apples in advance.
