Ingredients
  

1 pre-made flatbread or naan (store-bought or homemade)

2 cups fresh baby spinach

1 large apple (preferably Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), thinly sliced

8 oz Brie cheese, cut into thin slices

1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Fresh thyme leaves (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.

    Prepare the Flatbread: Take your flatbread or naan and lay it flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

      Sauté the Spinach: In a skillet over medium heat, pour in the olive oil. Once hot, add the fresh baby spinach. Sauté the spinach for about 2-3 minutes until it has wilted down significantly. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside your sautéed spinach.

        Layer the Ingredients: Begin layering on your flatbread. First, even spread the sautéed spinach across the surface. Follow this by placing the thin apple slices atop the spinach, distributing them evenly. Next, add the slices of Brie cheese over the apples, making sure to cover as much area of the flatbread as you can.

          Add Walnuts: Sprinkling the chopped walnuts evenly over the Brie adds both texture and flavor. If you’re including honey, drizzle a small amount on top of the walnuts to introduce a touch of sweetness.

            Bake the Flatbread: Place your assembled flatbread in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the Brie has melted and is bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread are delightfully crispy.

              Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Once you take the flatbread out of the oven, let it cool for a minute and then drizzle balsamic glaze over the top. Finish by garnishing with fresh thyme leaves to add a burst of flavor and freshness.

                Slice and Serve: Cut the flatbread into slices or wedges. Serve warm and enjoy the harmonious blend of sweet apples, creamy Brie, and crunchy walnuts.
