  • Author: Chef Lalybeth
  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

A delightful flatbread topped with ripe pears, creamy brie, tart cranberries, and fresh thyme. Perfect as an appetizer or a light meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made flatbread or pizza crust (about 12 inches)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 ripe pears, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces brie cheese, sliced or cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons honey for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the flatbread on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil.
  3. Arrange the pear slices evenly over the flatbread.
  4. Distribute the brie pieces on top of the pears.
  5. Sprinkle dried cranberries and fresh thyme leaves over the flatbread.
  6. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden.
  8. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve. Drizzle with honey if desired.

Notes

For a crispier crust, bake the flatbread directly on a hot pizza stone. Substitute goat cheese for brie if preferred. Ensure pears are firm but ripe for best texture.
