Cranberry & Queso Blanco Flatbread with Orange-Honey Vinaigrette
Ingredients
2 large flatbreads or naan
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, halved
6 oz queso blanco, crumbled
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup raw walnut halves, roughly chopped
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp clover honey
1 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp orange zest
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup Greek feta cheese, crumbled
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tbsp fresh pomegranate seeds
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F and place the flatbreads on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Rub the surface of each flatbread with the cut side of the garlic clove, then brush lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Pre-bake the flatbreads for 5 minutes until they are just beginning to crisp.
While the flatbreads bake, whisk together the honey, orange juice, orange zest, apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, red pepper flakes, and salt in a small bowl until emulsified.
In a medium bowl, toss the sliced red onions and dried cranberries with 1 tablespoon of the orange-honey vinaigrette.
Remove the flatbreads from the oven and layer the crumbled queso blanco evenly across the surface.
Top the cheese with the dressed onion and cranberry mixture, then scatter the chopped walnuts and fresh thyme over the top.
Return the flatbreads to the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the queso blanco is softened and the walnuts are toasted and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the crumbled feta, fresh parsley, and pomegranate seeds.
Drizzle the remaining orange-honey vinaigrette generously over the warm flatbreads before slicing into wedges.
