These are terrific. From hungerthirstplay.com:

Seconds to throw together, this quick + creamy cranberry brie flatbread has all the good things. Gooey brie cheese, creamy mascarpone, fresh herb flavor with a pop of cranberry tang on a pre-made crust.

INGREDIENTS

1 package [2 per package] Na’an style flatbreads (I used the Stonefire brand, rectangular shaped flatbreads.)
2 tablespoons mascarpone
6 ounces brie cheese, rind removed
½ cup fresh cranberries
2 springs fresh rosemary, leaves removed and chopped fine¹

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 425°F. Pull out a sheet pan large enough to fit both flatbreads or two small sheet pans.
On each flatbread: spread 1 tablespoon mascarpone and 3 ounces of brie – you will need to break the brie into smaller pieces. Sprinkle with ¼ cup cranberries and half the full amount of fresh chopped rosemary.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the cheese is browned, gooey and the bottom of the flatbread is crisp.²

NOTES

¹To save time chopping, use a small pair of kitchen scissors or pruning shears to cut the rosemary leaves right of the stem and onto the flatbread.

²For a super crispy bottom, cook directly on the oven rack with a sheet pan below to catch any cheese that make drip off.

These flatbreads can be made in advance, wrapped and frozen. Thaw before cooking. Reheat in oven for 5 to 7 minutes.

I have always been fond of spicy keilbasa. One jar mustard + one jar grape jelly + cut up keilbasa = yummy. Serve hot in a chafing dish.

or ANYTHING (meatballs, sausage, little smokies, chicken breast chunks) in a jar of grape jelly and bbq sauce.

you can even play around and use a different jelly.......have used apple jelly and raspberry seedless jelly and blueberry jam.

try also adding pineapple chunks and chunks of colorful peppers.

One 8 oz brick cream cheese with a jar of hot pepper relish (like Harry & David or other special brand carried in grocery stores). Spoon the pepper relish over the cream cheese brick and serve with assorted small crackers. Really good....or a brick of cream cheese topped with a jar of Heinz Chili Sauce and topped with drained flaked white crabmeat.
