Ingredients

• 2 flatbreads (naan or similar)

• 1 apple, thinly sliced

• ½ onion, thinly sliced

• 6–8 oz brie cheese, cubed

• Handful of fresh spinach

• Splash of sparkling or still water

• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

• Drizzle of Honey House Hot Honey

• Olive oil, for brushing

Equipment

• Medium skillet

• Baking sheet

• Knife & cutting board

• Oven

Pro Tips

1. Enhance the Caramelization: Adding a splash of water helps soften the onions faster and prevents burning.

2. Cube the Brie Cold: Brie is much easier to cut straight from the fridge.

3. Don’t Overload the Flatbread: A light, even layer helps everything melt evenly without getting soggy.

4. Rotate the Pan: Turn your baking sheet halfway through for even browning.

5. Finish With Heat: Always add the hot honey drizzle after baking so the flavor stays bright and bold.

Instructions

1. Caramelize the onions: Heat a skillet over medium and cook sliced onions for 5 minutes. Add a splash of sparkling or still water at the 3-minute mark along with balsamic vinegar. Stir until soft and golden.

2. Prep the flatbreads: Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Brush flatbreads lightly with olive oil.

3. Assemble: Layer the brie, apple slices, caramelized onions, and spinach evenly over each flatbread.

4. Bake: Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12–14 minutes, until the edges are toasted and the brie is melty.

5. Finish: Drizzle generously with Honey House Hot Honey and enjoy warm.

Storage Tips

• Flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.

• Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 6–8 minutes to revive crispness.

• Avoid microwaving — it softens the flatbread and makes the brie rubbery.

Recipe Notes

The mix of warm brie, crisp apples, and tangy balsamic onions creates a beautifully balanced flatbread that's both elegant and comforting. Apples add natural sweetness, while the brie melts into a rich, creamy base that pairs perfectly with the soft onions.

Finishing with Honey House Hot Honey adds the magic — a glossy drizzle of sweet heat that ties everything together. Our hot honey is made with 100% pure, raw, American-sourced honey, cold-extracted to preserve its bold flavor and natural enzymes. It's the perfect upgrade for savory-sweet recipes like this.

Perfect Pairings

Serve with:

• A fall salad with pears or cranberries

• Sparkling apple cider

• A warm mug of chai or cinnamon tea

• Roasted butternut squash soup

• A cheese board featuring extra brie, nuts, and dried fruit
