A quick and easy holiday appetizer this Cranberry Brie Flatbread has only 7 ingredients and is done in 20 minutes! The perfect appetizer for when you’re in a hurry!
Let’s just announce for probably the millionth time that I looooove appetizers. I could live off of them, give me a whole plate of various ones and I’ll be happy forever.
Now that the holidays are coming up I wanted to share with you one of my go-to quick and easy appetizer recipes that we just can’t get enough of.
This Cranberry Brie Flatbread is super easy and quick to put together and is done in a flash. All the flavors from the cheese, the cranberries, pecans, rosemary and honey just work.
They really all go so well together that it is just a flavor explosion in your mouth and the best part about it is that it is hand held!
I really love cranberries in either baking or savory dishes, they go well in either so we love to use them in various ones. This is one of my favorite savory ones!
Cheese and cranberries alone are just amazing. But add all these other flavors to the mix and you have yourself an appetizer that you will want to make over and over again.

You can use fresh or frozen cranberries with this recipe, we have have used both and they have both worked just fine.

If you are not a fan of pecans you can use walnuts or even almonds for this, they both taste great. Or you can omit the nuts altogether.

Absolutely, usually when you buy your flatbread it comes with two of them so it is easy to double this recipe and we usually do it when we are going to larger gatherings.

This Flatbread Recipe can be stored in an airtight container or ziptop bag in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
You can warm it back up in the microwave or you can place back in the oven at 250 for about 5 minutes until heated through.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Fresh or frozen cranberries can be used for this.
- This is a great recipe to double if you are serving a larger crowd.
- If all the cranberries haven’t burst, keep it in for a few minutes longer.
