Description
Creamy brie cheese coated in crunchy pistachios, baked until warm and gooey, then drizzled with a sweet-tart raspberry honey glaze. These bite-sized appetizers are perfect for parties and holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) wheel of brie cheese, chilled
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the chilled brie into 1-inch cubes (about 16 pieces). In a shallow bowl, combine chopped pistachios and panko breadcrumbs.
- Set up a breading station: one bowl with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with pistachio mixture. Coat each brie cube first in flour, then dip in egg, then roll in pistachio mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place coated brie bites on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and cheese is soft but not melted completely. Let cool for 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, raspberry jam, and butter. Stir until melted and well combined. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Arrange warm brie bites on a serving platter. Drizzle with raspberry honey glaze. Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pistachio coating. These bites are best served fresh out of the oven.
