Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a baking sheet inside to heat up for a crispier base.
Prep the flatbread: Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
Slice the brie: Cut into thin slices or small chunks.
Toast the almonds: Heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring often until golden (about 3 minutes). Watch closely to prevent burning.
Assemble the flatbread: Place flatbread on the hot baking sheet. Top evenly with brie, cranberries, and toasted almonds.
Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes until cheese melts and edges are golden and crisp.
Finish and serve: Drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze, sprinkle with herbs, slice, and enjoy.

Notes

Tip: Don’t overload the flatbread—spreading toppings evenly ensures each bite has the perfect balance of flavors. For make-ahead, slice brie and toast almonds ahead of time, then assemble just before baking.
