Cranberry & Brie Flatbread Appetizers
Share
There’s something about the holidays that calls for cozy food — the kind you can set down on the table and watch disappear slice by slice. This Holiday Brie & Cranberry Flatbread is exactly that kind of magic.
We start with melted Brie (the dreamiest kind of cheese), layered onto warm flatbread, then topped with a bright homemade cranberry compote sweetened with our Franklin Raw Honey. Add toasted pecans for the perfect crunch and a few rosemary sprigs to bring that fresh “Christmas-morning” aroma… and suddenly you have an appetizer worthy of a celebration.
It’s elegant yet effortless — ideal for a holiday cocktail hour, a girls’ night in, or even a cozy dinner with a simple winter salad on the side. With every bite you get creamy, tangy, nutty, and just the right touch of sweetness… everything December should taste like.
Bake one up, pour something sparkly, and enjoy a little festive indulgence.
