Brie Flatbread Pizzas Tips & Tricks
- Start by making the caramelized onions. Making caramelized onions takes a bit of time, so make these first.
- Apples: This recipe calls for Granny Smith apples because they’re flavourful and tart, which is perfect with the cheese. But you can use any kind of apple, and even pear.
- Flatbread: I like to buy pre-made flatbreads for recipes like this, there’s no sense in making a homemade crust, unless you want to. Pre-made flatbreads are delicious and so easy. My favourites are Naan breads.
- Arugula: If you don’t care for arugula you can leave it out, or substitute it with fresh spinach.
- Onions: When making caramelized onions, sweet onions are the best variety…they’re sweet and flavourful.
- Grilling Option: You can also grill these flatbread pizzas on the barbecue. Set them on a sheet of tinfoil, or directly on the grill if you wish, and bake them the same way you would in the oven. We set our barbecue to a medium-high heat, and cooked them for about 8 minutes. Watch them closely to make sure they don’t burn.

Ingredients
Balsamic Caramelized Onions:
- 2 large sweet onions
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- salt and black pepper to taste
Flatbread and Toppings:
- 1 large (or 3 small) pre-made flatbread or Naan bread
- 1 or 2 green apples, cut into thin slices (I used Granny Smith apples)
- 3/4 cup sliced Brie cheese (I used 1/2 of a 350 g wheel of Brie)
- 1/4 cup chopped Arugula for garnish
- caramelized onions (see recipe below)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
Make the caramelized onions first:
- Slice the onions.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over low-medium heat, then add the onions.
- Stir in the balsamic vinegar.
- Turn the heat down to low, and cook the onions until they are soft and there is no liquid in the pan, about 25 minutes.
- Stir often, making sure not to let the onions burn. You want them to be soft and deep golden brown.
- When they’re done, set aside.
Putting it all together:
- Lay the flatbread out on a baking sheet.
- Spread the caramelized onions over the flatbread.
- Layer on the slices of apple, tucking some apple pieces under the onions.
- Add the sliced Brie cheese.
- Bake the flatbreads for 10 – 12 minute, or until the cheese is softly melted.
- Garnish with the chopped arugula and serve!
