Pistachio-Crusted Brie Bites with Hot Honey Drizzle combine creamy Brie, crunchy pistachios and golden panko breadcrumbs with a sweet and spicy honey finish. These elegant bite-sized appetisers are perfect for parties, holiday gatherings and special occasions.
Ingredients
8 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 20 small cubes
1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the flour in one shallow bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together the egg and water. In a third bowl, combine the finely chopped pistachios and panko breadcrumbs.
Coat each Brie cube lightly in the flour, then dip it into the egg mixture. Press the Brie into the pistachio and panko mixture, coating all sides.
Arrange the coated Brie bites on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the coating is golden and the Brie is soft.
While the Brie bites are baking, add the honey, crushed red pepper flakes and fresh lemon juice to a small saucepan. Warm gently for 2–3 minutes, stirring until combined.
Remove the warm Brie bites from the oven and drizzle generously with the hot honey.
Serve immediately while the Brie is warm and soft.
Notes
Cut the Brie into evenly sized cubes so they bake at a similar rate.
Press the pistachio and panko coating firmly onto each Brie cube.
Keep a close eye on the bites during the final minutes of baking so the coating becomes golden without allowing the Brie to melt excessively.
Drizzle the hot honey just before serving for the best texture and flavour.
These Brie bites are best served warm.
