Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large flatbread or naan
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh arugula or spinach for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine fresh cranberries, olive oil, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss until cranberries are well coated.
- Spread the cranberry mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast cranberries in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they start to burst and caramelize.
- While cranberries roast, prepare your flatbread. If using store-bought, place it on a baking sheet. If making your own, roll out the dough and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush a little olive oil on the flatbread and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Once cranberries are done, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the roasted cranberries evenly over the flatbread, including all the juices.
- Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over the cranberries.
- Add a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- If using, sprinkle walnuts over the cheese.
- Bake the assembled flatbread in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
- Slice the flatbread into wedges or squares.
- Garnish with fresh arugula or spinach, if desired, and drizzle with extra honey for added sweetness.
- Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or light meal.
