Ingredients
  

2 naan flatbreads
  • 2 naan flatbreads Use plain naan for the classic crisped edges.
olive oil
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
brie
  • 6 oz brie Slice for even melt and pooling.
cranberry sauce
  • 0.5 cup whole berry cranberry sauce Spoon as dots so pockets stay fruity.
pecans
  • 0.25 cup pecans Chop; their crunch contrasts the soft brie.
arugula
  • 1 cup baby arugula Use fresh arugula for peppery balance.
honey
  • 1 tbsp honey Drizzle warm flatbread after baking.
rosemary
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary Chopped; sprinkle with the cranberry and pecans.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Bake the flatbread
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F, then place the naan flatbreads on a sheet pan and brush the tops with olive oil.
  2. Arrange the brie slices over the flatbreads so they cover the surface in an even layer.
  3. Dot with spoonfuls of whole berry cranberry sauce, then sprinkle with chopped pecans and fresh rosemary.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the brie is melted and the edges are crisp, with a golden toasted look around the naan.
Finish and serve
  1. Top immediately with baby arugula so it wilts slightly on the hot flatbread.
  2. Drizzle with honey for glossy sweetness over the melted brie and cranberry.
  3. Cut into squares and serve warm.

Notes

For the crispiest edges, keep the sheet pan in the oven while it preheats, then transfer the oiled naan onto the hot pan. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 days; rewarm in a 425°F oven for 3-5 minutes to re-crisp. Freezing isn’t recommended because the arugula and cranberry texture change. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat brie to keep the melt while lowering calories.
