This red grape, brie and rosemary flatbread is studded with juicy red grapes, bubbling brie cheese, sprinkled with fresh rosemary and sea salt.
Today is a very special day.
A bunch, and by bunch I mean THIRTY SEVEN bloggers teamed up to virtually bring some amazing food to our friend Bev, for one of the biggest surprise virtual baby showers I’ve ever seen. This party is slammin’ with a ton of delicious food from pear, cranberry and arugula salad to sweet potato crème brulée. I mean Bev’s pregnant with twins, so she’s eating for two and all, right?
Bev is a riot. {Did that just make me sound reeeeally old??} No really, she’s probably one of the funniest writers I’ve ever read. I can’t read a blog post of hers and not chuckle if not a full-on belly laugh and most times it’s out loud and sometimes it involves a snort. But all this funny business aside… she’s also a great cook, photographer, she’s caring two babies and is still a size negative zero, OH and she sings. What can’t this girl do? No, really Bev… what can’t you do???
So when the email popped into my inbox for Bev’s virtual shower, I instantly started thinking of Bev. No, nothing creepy like… but what I wanted to bring to Bev’s shower. Instantly I thought of flatbread. Bev LOVES her pizza so I knew that I was going to throw together a Bev-worthy flatbread and I was going to serve it on a wood cutting board, in true Bev style.
So first things first, I made some flatbread dough. It’s SUPER easy yo’s! I spared you all the step-by-step’s of this part and plugged the directions into the printable below the post.
Then I used a Y vegetable peeler and peeled off as much of the waxy rind I could from the {8 oz.} brie wheel. If you can find those brie logs, those probably would work better. That’s what I was looking for actually, but my grocery store was all out. Wah-wah.
So I awkwardly sliced it pretty thin, so I could then tear it into pieces.
Then I just wash some pretty red grapes… pretty hard stuff right here.
You’ll need about a heaping cup… and some fresh rosemary.
Next I drizzled a rimmed sheet pan with two tablespoons of olive oil, don’t skimp, and just rub it around with your hands.
Don’t even bother washing the olive oil off your hands before you punch the risen dough down and stretch it out almost to the sides of the pan. Now, go wash. 😉
Then I scattered the torn pieces of brie over the dough.
Then with two tablespoons of chopped rosemary leaves.
Press the grapes into the flatbread dough…
…and lastly sprinkle with the two teaspoons of flaked sea salt.
Cover and let rise for 20 more minutes. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the grapes start bursting, the brie is bubbly and the flatbread is perfectly golden and crispy.
Bubbles are a good sign. It means the grapes plumped up until they burst and leave a sweet trail of bubbly juice. Yeah. That’s right.
This recipe is perfect for a gathering. It serves 15 or more depending how you slice it and it’s sure to be gone in no time.
The crust is crispy, chewy and undeniably addicting. The grapes add a burst of sweetness and baking them along with brie, rosemary and a sprinkle of flaked sea salt really elevates this flatbread to a whole new level.
I’m now considering having a baby, so I can have an excuse to throw myself a shower and eat this entire Red Grape, Brie and Rosemary Flatbread. Amen.

Hello, this is something I want to make! Did you use the entire 8 oz of brie?
Hi Denise! You can use as much or as little as you like. 🙂
I am trying to find new ways to use whatever ingredients I have in my pantry during my Coronavirus quarantine. I do not have-nor like- rosemary. Can you suggest any other spice that might give this the same punch/kick, although a bit different?
I was thinking of using a bit of truffle oil with this in place of rosemary. Perhaps that would be a good substitute?
I need to make some appetizers that can be done ahead of time and travel well. Would these work or do they need to be served hot out of the oven?
I’m in the same boat as you, Gloria. I want to make for a Thanksgiving appetizer but will need bake at my home and then bring to my parents. Hoping a quick re-toasting in the oven at Mom’s house to warm them up will be ok to serve after traveling with it.
