Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking the flatbreads.
- Prepare the flatbreads: Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil on one side and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
