Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 naan bread
- 1 cup brie cheese, sliced
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Take the naan bread and lay it flat on the prepared baking sheet. Gently brush the surface of the naan with olive oil using a pastry brush, ensuring even coverage to help create a golden, crispy texture.
- Carefully slice the brie cheese into thin, even pieces. Arrange the brie slices evenly across the surface of the naan, covering it from edge to edge to ensure each bite will have melted cheese.
- Spoon the cranberry sauce over the brie, distributing it evenly. The sauce will add a sweet and tangy contrast to the creamy cheese.
- Finely chop the fresh rosemary and sprinkle it over the naan, adding a fragrant herbal note to the dish.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the edges of the naan are golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly and prevent burning.
- Slice the naan into quarters or desired serving sizes. Serve immediately while warm and the cheese is still gooey.
Tips
- Choose a high-quality brie with a creamy texture for the best melting results.
- Use fresh, soft naan bread for optimal crispiness and flavor absorption.
- For extra flavor, slightly warm the cranberry sauce before spreading it on the naan.
- Make sure to slice the brie thinly and evenly to ensure uniform melting.
- Watch the naan closely in the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately for the most enjoyable gooey cheese experience.
- Consider garnishing with additional fresh rosemary or a drizzle of honey for extra complexity.
- For a gourmet touch, use homemade cranberry sauce if possible.
