Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base:
- 1 store-bought flatbread or naan
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh or dried cranberries
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup (60 g) crumbled feta cheese
Seasoning and Finishing:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) balsamic glaze
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Transform the baking sheet into a culinary canvas by lining it with parchment paper and heating the oven to a precise 375°F (190°C).
- Craft golden-sweet caramelized onions by gently sautéing thinly sliced onions in olive oil over medium heat, allowing them to slowly transform and develop rich, deep flavors.
- Sprinkle brown sugar into the onion mixture during the final moments of cooking, creating a luxurious caramelized glaze that enhances the onions’ natural sweetness.
- Carefully position the flatbread on the prepared baking sheet, creating a delectable foundation for the upcoming flavor symphony.
- Artfully distribute the caramelized onions across the flatbread’s surface, ensuring an even, flavor-packed layer.
- Generously scatter vibrant cranberries, crumble tangy feta cheese, and delicately sprinkle fresh thyme leaves to create a complex flavor profile.
- Elevate the flatbread’s taste with a graceful drizzle of balsamic glaze, then finish with a whisper of salt and pepper to heighten the overall seasoning.
- Slide the flatbread into the preheated oven, allowing it to transform for 8-10 minutes until the edges become irresistibly crisp and the toppings are thoroughly warmed.
- Remove from the oven, slice into elegant portions, and serve while the flatbread remains tantalizingly warm, ready to delight the senses.
Notes
- Toast flatbread gently to prevent burning and ensure crispy edges without drying out the delicate base.
- Use room temperature feta for smoother melting and more even distribution across the flatbread surface.
- Experiment with different sugar alternatives like maple syrup or honey when caramelizing onions for varied flavor profiles.
- For gluten-free adaptation, substitute traditional flatbread with cauliflower or zucchini-based alternatives to maintain recipe’s rustic charm.
