• ½ cup fresh blueberries

• ⅓ cup walnuts, roughly chopped

• Freshly cracked black pepper

• Small handful arugula (for serving)

🔥 Instructions

1️⃣ Roast the Walnuts

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Spread chopped walnuts on a small baking sheet.

3. Roast for 5–7 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.

4. Remove and set aside.

(You can skip this step if using pre-roasted walnuts, but freshly roasted adds great flavor.)

1. Place flatbread on a baking sheet.

2. Brush lightly with olive oil.

3. Arrange sliced Brie evenly over the surface.

4. Scatter blueberries on top.

5. Sprinkle with roasted walnuts.

3️⃣ Bake

1. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes.

2. The cheese should be melted and bubbly.

For extra crispiness, bake directly on the oven rack for the last 2–3 minutes.

4️⃣ Finish & Serve

1. Remove from oven.

2. Drizzle lightly with honey.

3. Sprinkle thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.

4. Add fresh arugula if desired.
