🔥 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare Flatbread

• Slice and serve warm.

💡 Tips & Variations

• Nuts: Swap almonds for walnuts or pecans.

• Fruit: Use fresh cranberries (lightly sautéed) or substitute with dried cherries or figs.

• Cheese: Brie pairs wonderfully, but creamy Camembert or goat cheese works too.

• Add Greens: Top with arugula or baby spinach after baking for freshness.

• Spice: Add a pinch of chili flakes for a subtle kick.
