For the Flatbread Base:
- 2 large naan or artisan flatbreads
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Toppings:
- 6 oz (170g) Brie cheese, sliced (rind optional)
- 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
- 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
For the Hot Honey Drizzle:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Optional Garnish:
- Fresh thyme leaves
- Light sprinkle of flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Toast the Walnuts – Place walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Hot Honey – In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and red pepper flakes. Warm gently for 2–3 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let sit to infuse.
- Pre-Bake the Flatbread – Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush flatbreads lightly with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 5–6 minutes until slightly crisp.
- Add Brie and Bake – Remove flatbreads from oven. Layer sliced Brie evenly over each flatbread. Sprinkle lightly with brown sugar if using. Return to oven and bake for another 6–8 minutes until Brie is melted and edges are golden and crispy.
- Finish and Serve – Remove from oven and immediately top with pomegranate arils and toasted walnuts. Drizzle generously with warm hot honey. Garnish with fresh thyme and a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt if desired. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
