If you want to make people happy, give them cheese and bread! If you want to make them extremely happy, give them melted cheese on bread! This Philosophy inspired me to make this beautiful and simple starter. Sweet ripe blackberries and mixed seasonal greens piled on top of flatbread loaded with melted brie, blue cheese, and sour baby grapes. Word to the wise, don’t make too many, or your guests won’t have room for dinner.

- Cook for 2 minutes until everything is bubbling and starting to brown. Remove from oven and place each bread on a serving plate that is slightly larger than the flat bread. Let cool 2 minutes. * note keep an eye on the broiler. it may be done sooner than 2 min or need a bit more time. So check after 1 min.
- . In small mixing bowl, add the greens, blackberries, balsamic and olive oil. Toss until mixed as a salad. Add a heaping pile of the salad on top of each flat bread and serve.
