Pistachio-Crusted Brie Bites with Raspberry Honey Glaze
Delicious bite-sized appetizers featuring warm brie coated in a crunchy pistachio crust and drizzled with sweet raspberry honey glaze.
Ingredients
For the Bites
- 1 wheel wheel of brie, cold from the fridge
- 1 cup pistachios, finely chopped (salted is great)
- 1-2 tablespoons raspberry jam or preserves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed (or phyllo cups if you want it even easier)
- 1 egg beaten (for brushing, optional but makes it golden)
- 1 pinch of salt (only if your pistachios are unsalted)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Chop the pistachios into small pieces that will stick to the cheese.
- Cut the brie into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch pieces.
- Cut puff pastry into small squares, around 2 to 2.5 inches each.
- Place a brie cube in the center of each pastry square, wrap it up, and pinch the seams closed.
- Brush tops lightly with egg wash and roll in chopped pistachios.
Baking
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until deep golden and puffed.
- While they bake, stir together raspberry jam and honey in a small bowl.
- Let the bites cool for about 5 minutes, then drizzle a little glaze on top. Serve warm.
Notes
These bites can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated before baking. They can also be frozen unbaked and baked from frozen with added time. Pair with fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal.
