Can I use fresh cranberries instead of dried cranberries?

Fresh cranberries can be used; however, they will be much more tart. To balance that tartness, consider adding a bit more honey or a sprinkle of sugar. Dried cranberries add a level of sweetness that complements the Brie, which fresh cranberries may not provide.

Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare some parts of the recipe ahead of time. You can slice the Brie and combine the nuts and cranberries beforehand. Assemble just before baking to ensure the flatbread stays crisp.

What can I substitute for hot honey?

You can create a similar effect by mixing regular honey with a dash of chili powder or cayenne pepper. For something less spicy, consider using a fruit-infused honey.

How long will leftovers last?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to regain that crispiness before serving again.

Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, Crispy Flatbread with Brie is suitable for vegetarians as it contains no meat or fish products. Just ensure that the cheese used meets your dietary preferences.
