Ingredients for Flatbread: 

• ¼ cup cane syrup
• 1 teaspoon bold Creole seasoning
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• ¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper, divided
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• 1 (8.8-ounce) package of naan flatbreads
• 4 ounces Brie cheese, sliced ¼ inch thick
• 2 fresh peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Flaked sea salt, for sprinkling
• Garnish: chopped fresh basil, crushed red pepper

Directions for preparing Flatbread: 

1. Begin by heating the cane syrup in a microwave-safe bowl using 10-second intervals until it becomes pleasantly warm. To this, add the bold Creole seasoning, hot sauce, ½ teaspoon of crushed red pepper, and paprika. Mix these flavors together and let the mixture cool down completely.
2. As your spicy cane syrup infusion cools, preheat your oven to a toasty 450°F. For an even bake, ensure you have a wire rack resting atop a rimmed baking sheet.
3. Now, take your prepared wire rack and artfully lay out the naan flatbreads. On this canvas, let the star ingredients shine: layer the Brie cheese and delicate peach slices atop the naan. To awaken your taste buds, give them a gentle dusting with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of crushed red pepper. Finally, add a poetic drizzle of olive oil.
4. Slide your masterpiece into the preheated oven, and let the magic unfold. In just 12 to 15 minutes, you’ll witness the cheese transform into a molten, golden masterpiece. It’s at this point that your kitchen will be filled with the aroma of anticipation.
5. As the flatbreads emerge, the final touches transform them into culinary art. Drizzle the cooled spicy cane syrup mixture over the golden flatbreads, infusing them with a harmonious blend of flavors. A delicate sprinkle of flaked sea salt not only enhances the taste but also adds an elegant texture contrast. For a visual flourish, garnish the flatbreads with freshly chopped basil and a whisper of crushed red pepper.
