Cranberry Flatbread with Goat Cheese

Another year of Christmas Tree Picnic party with Megan and we made up this delicious and festive flatbread!!!  I thought it was a little sweet for my liking but Megan and Rossy gobbled right up!!!  It would be perfect for a Christmas app too!!!

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cup fresh cranberries
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
• ½ teaspoon chopped dry thyme
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 purchased flatbreads, (14 oz package)
• 1 4-ounce package fresh goat cheese, crumbled

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Mix cranberries, maple syrup, shallot, thyme and salt in an 8 by 8-inch baking dish. Roast, stirring once or twice, until the cranberries burst and the mixture is bubbling and caramelizing along the edge, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and stir until the cranberries are broken down and the mixture is thick. Set aside.
3. Lay flatbreads out on work surface. Spread the hot cranberry mixture over the flatbreads, dividing evenly. Top with the goat cheese. Bake directly on the oven rack until the cheese is softened and flatbread is crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Cut into 8 small wedges or strips each.
