Ingredients
  

For the Flatbread & Toppings:
  • 2 large flatbreads or naan approx. 200g total
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1-2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 5-6 oz 140-170g brie cheese, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Garlic Cream Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat: Set oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Sauté: Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté mushrooms for 5–7 minutes until golden. Add garlic for 30 seconds, then toss in spinach until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Sauce: Simmer heavy cream and garlic in a small pan for 3–4 mins. Stir in Parmesan until thickened.
  4. Assemble: Place flatbreads on a tray. Spread garlic cream sauce. Top with the mushroom/spinach mix and brie slices.
  5. Bake: Bake for 8–12 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are crisp.

Notes

  • For the Best Crust: Use a preheated baking sheet or pizza stone to ensure the bottom of the flatbread gets crispy.
  • Brie Tip: Keep the brie in the freezer for 10 minutes before slicing to make it easier to handle.
  • Make it Mediterranean: Use extra virgin olive oil for sautéing to enhance the polyphenols and authentic flavor profile.
