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

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.  Pull out a sheet pan large enough to fit both flatbreads or two small sheet pans.
2. 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.
3. 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.

little smokies in grape jelly (1 small jar) and chili sauce (1 jar). I put in small crock pot. Yummy!!

or substitute meatballs for little smokies.

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.
