How to Make Pear, Apple & Brie Flatbread
1. Prepare the Flatbread
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly brush the flatbread with olive oil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 4–5 minutes, just until the base becomes slightly crisp.
2. Add the Toppings
Remove the flatbread from the oven and arrange the sliced Brie evenly over the surface. Place the thinly sliced pear and apple on top.
Spoon small dollops of cranberry jelly over the fruit and Brie, then sprinkle with crumbled feta. Add fresh thyme or rosemary if using.
3. Bake
Return the flatbread to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, until the Brie is soft and melted and the fruit is slightly tender.
4. Slice and Serve
Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool briefly. Slice and serve warm as a sweet-savoury appetiser or light meal.
Tips for the Best Flatbread

- Slice the fruit thinly: Thin slices become tender quickly while the Brie melts.
- Crisp the flatbread first: The short initial bake helps create a crisp base.
- Use small cranberry dollops: This distributes the cranberry flavour without overpowering the Brie and fruit.
- Serve warm: The Brie is softest and creamiest straight from the oven.
- Choose your favourite herb: Fresh thyme or rosemary both work beautifully with the fruit and cheese.
When to Serve Pear, Apple & Brie Flatbread

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use naan instead of flatbread?
Yes. The recipe works with either one large flatbread or naan.
Can I use both pear and apple?
Yes. The combination of thinly sliced pear and apple gives the flatbread a nice balance of fruity flavours and textures.
Can I leave out the feta?
The feta adds a salty contrast to the sweet cranberry jelly and fruit. If preferred, you can adjust the amount or omit it.
